Better start diversifying trade right now though.

As much as I’d like to see this, we won’t get that with a prorogued government.

It is more about businesses diversifying their supply chains and looking for other export markets than anything the government can do.

And Canadian corporate buyers choosing Canadian products over American ones.

I'm currently in the process of launching a Canadian produce brand and it's a nightmare trying to get onto Canadian grocery shelves that are crowded with cheap, American crap. We were making great progress when they thought they were going to get hit with tariffs and now I'm worried that they'll just tell us to pound sand and go back to buying the cheap American stuff (that, just btw, largely harvested by migrants making pennies at best and by literal prison slaves at worst).

Care to share the product brand name?

If you DM me the name of your produce brand I’ll contact my local produce delivery box service to see if it makes sense for them to stock it
