Here in Florida--where everything is too damned expensive, insurance companies are deciding not to insure, traffic is worse than ever, and the state has gone batshit crazy and are removing vaccine mandates--they're selling their vacation homes and never coming back.

I do only wish they'd take us with them because as the working poor, we can't afford to escape on our own. 😕

They've had Smuckers jam on sale repeatedly (though price has risen) and I wonder if they have a backlog from old orders that they have to move. Not interested.

Shelves have lots of Canadian flag stickers to help guide purchasers.

The farmers must have stepped up due to increased demand- BC berries are usually super expensive and only around for a few weeks, a month max.

I have been pleasantly surprised at how much Canadian product is available and what little I can't get that is Canadian I look for European or Central or South American when it comes to oranges, etc.

The stores have made it much easier over time as more and more of them are marking their shelves with the stickers, I still double check though as some have been found to be misleading as to Canadian content.

HFCS crap is not good for you.

I have noticed that some stores (Real CDN superstore is worst) that they put Canadian made items on the bottom shelves because they want them to pay extra to show them in prime areas on their shelves. This has stopped me from even shopping there now, except for the very odd item. I shop where they showcase Canadian made, unfortunately for us in the West there seems to be less choices.

Some of whom I haven’t seen in years.

If my kids didn’t live in the states, I’d probably never set foot in the country again, or at least as long as it is under fascist rule.

difficult for them to visit me in Canada. I am fortunate that my children and grandchildren all live here so I don't have the tough decision to make re visits.

The fighter jets will be a big bargaining tool for Canada in the upcoming CUSMA review. Hoekstra has said the silent part out loud when he said there are no further negotiations on tariffs at this time. There was never going to be a deal and Carney was aware of that, shown by turning elsewhere immediately, with some hope of a US deal still.
