Chapman's Ice Cream has just done something EVERY Canadian should know.
The largest ice cream company in Canada used to source fruit and nuts from American suppliers — for some, for over 30 years. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products.
So, what did Chapman's do?
📷 They called Italy.
📷 They called Spain.
📷 They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.
And the vice president said it perfectly:
"Even if Trump wakes up smarter than yesterday, we're about to sign long-term deals with other countries — and the American companies that supply them will have nothing but their eyes to cry for."
Oh, and on top of ALL that? They're COLDing their prices so that the average Canadian doesn't have to spend a single cent more.
It's a family business. No shareholders. Just the Chapman family saying: "The least we can do is make sure Canadians still have the means to buy ice cream."
That's what Canadian pride looks like.
Next time you're at the grocery store — grab some Chapman's.
Every scoop of ice cream is a vote for Canada.
I live in Northwestern Ontario. Right now, the Boreal forest is burning.
I'm writing this beneath the dark orange plume from the Quetico wildfires.
These are some of the reports coming out as communities fight to survive:
"No fire crews left for new fires."
"We had no warning."
Families are self-evacuating by private boat across lakes because they didn't receive evacuation information. They're fleeing towering flames with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
This is unacceptable in a province as wealthy as Ontario.
I'm calling out Doug Ford. His government has underfunded Ontario's wildfire management capacity by tens of millions of dollars.
@fordnation you want our Ring of Fire, our water, our forests. You want to store nuclear waste in our bedrock and run an oil pipeline through our watersheds.
But you won't work with northern communities. You make decisions for us without us, and then fail to provide the basic public services we PAY FOR and rely on: wildfire protection, health care, education, safe highways and social services.
Northern Ontario deserves better than this feckless leadership.

Getting irritable is the first signal your nervous system sends you that it's no longer regulated and it's time to take a walk. Even if that walk is just around the house.
@GOtransit very poor communication with us passengers sitting on the 16:23 for over 30 minutes with no updates and then an announcement to say waiting on a signal.

Such a powerful interview about how subsidized programs changed his life! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 One of the many reasons why Canada is so incredible.
When I was a young detective, I was part of a team working to identify a man who had abducted and murdered a child. After we arrested him, two senior detectives interviewed him—and what he said has stayed with me ever since.
He looked them in the eye and said, “If she had screamed, I would’ve let her go. I told her not to scream or I’d kill her—but if she had, I would’ve run.”
He even said, “Make sure you tell parents that.”
As sick as it was, his words carried a brutal truth: if someone is trying to force you into a car—scream. Fight. Make noise. Don’t go quietly. Because where they’re trying to take you is never a better place.
I pass that information on as often as I can.
