Happy Earth Day! Plant some veggies as a thank-you to Mother Earth. She always gives back (you'll have tasty nutritious meals when it comes time to harvest). https://t.co/LdrSZkFCz6

Happy first day of spring! Time to get those veggie starters out to your backyard garden. Already happening in the south #VancouverIsland climate!

@chefsevenn Nice try! Considering how challenging they are to grow in backyard gardens, every Brussels sprout should be savored with delight (and some butter)! #urbangarden #veggies #HealthyEating

Restoration of the former consumer carbon tax credit as the Canada Groceries & Essentials Benefit (to be combined with quarterly GST rebate for delivery to low/moderate income households) is welcome news. Also good to see a food supply resilience strategy. https://t.co/YwyG9B6IOF

Metro’s CEO said yesterday that 20% of the grocer’s suppliers raising prices due to tariffs, with more than 3,000 products potentially affected by both U.S. tariffs and Ottawa’s counter-tariffs.

Expect food inflation to rise in Canada. In the U.S., food inflation is falling.
