For over 130 years, Canadians either loved or hated Cherry Blossoms.
Considered a staple of the Christmas season, these candies were often found in stockings.
In January 2025, it was announced Cherry Blossoms were being discontinued.
This is their history.

Bree's story is featured at the top of the Apple Podcast app this week. It still boggles my mind that a podcast created under my stairs in Port Alberni rubs shoulders with the New Yorker & the CBC. 🙏

Everyone who has been angered by horrific images of starvation in Gaza needs to recognize that they wouldn’t see those images, and wouldn’t know about the atrocities their governments bankroll, without journalists risking their lives.
That is exactly why Israel is targeting and killing them.

Trump has never wavered in his attack on Canada. He has stated his intention to use economic tariffs to break our will. Rhetoric from MAGA officials continues to escalate.
The 35% threat is not about trade. This is war by other means.

You put both hands on the wheel and drive right over ICE.
