As #NationalConvenienceWeek wraps up, let’s thank the workers who were on the front lines during the pandemic so we could access the essential goods that keep us going. @ConvenienceCan@MakeAWishCA

It’s Atlantic Convenience Store week. I had the opportunity to stop into Gass’s Country Store in New Haven to chat with Danny and Marion. These stores are vital for maintaining sustainable communities. @TheACSA
When it’s your turn, please get vaccinated. ACSA President, MIke Hammoud got his first shot today; and encourages all Atlantic Canadians to get theirs - so our economies can re-open and restrictions relax. #getvaccinated
@mullenpei @DerekMacEwen @ErnieHudsonPEI@dennyking - It’s unfortunate that PEI is the only Province in Canada where legal adult vapor products are severely restricted or not available at all. Smuggled black market products shouldn’t be the only option.
It’s time to look at the data - big, temporary and unexpected spikes in legal cigarettes in our region in 2020 point to a problem. It’s time for solutions and a plan to combat the black market.
For budget 2021, we recommend no tax increases on tobacco products. The 1st pillar of a successful plan to combat illegal tobacco is prudent tax policy that keeps legal tobacco costs from rising until illegal tobacco can be removed from the market. #nspoli

Visited a small lighting store in North Toronto today. I was the only customer and there were 2 staff. She told me she is forced to close as of Monday and expects her customers will be in giant line-ups at Home Depot. She was in tears and asked me how this makes sense.
