“Our most challenging category to mitigate the threat of retaliatory tariffs is produce where in Canada, in the winter, we do not always have viable alternatives,”

I know it won’t happen overnight but let’s get some Mexican produce lined up for next winter. They are being hit by tariffs too.

And it’s also time for more hothouse produce. Stop exporting our energy to the enemy and use it here to feed ourselves.

There's also these guys Canadian Grown Bananas who are out of Ontario.

There's lots of microgreen producers throughout Alberta if that's your thing and take a look for CSA's (Community Supported Agriculture) in your area.

I know it's definitely not feasible for everyone but even switching out ONE product at a time is what we need.

Do what you can with what you have.
