[Sprague Cannery 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @SpragueFoods]

Tariffs may still feel abstract to many, so let me share something tangible to help everyone better understand the gravity of the situation.

We employ 50 people at our Canadian cannery. A significant portion of our business is with US customers. For decades, we’ve operated under free trade and structured our business accordingly.

Food canning is highly competitive, and we operate on thin profit margins.

From March 4 to March 7, a 25% tariff was imposed on Canadian imports to the US. For shipments during just this short period, our customers were taxed a combined total of $26,632.12 USD. We've offered to absorb these costs to maintain our customer relationships for now.

This arrangement isn't sustainable. 25% is simply too high of a tariff to absorb on an ongoing basis. If these tariffs persist, we risk losing a substantial—and the most profitable—portion of our business.

Unless we make up for these losses in the Canadian market, it will lead to significant job losses and could even put us out of business completely.

That's why we're urgently appealing to Canadian retailers: please list our products and other products made by Canadian food manufacturers affected by these tariffs. Do it now, please!

We must swiftly respond to this economic warfare to protect Canada’s domestic food and beverage manufacturing industry. This is a matter of food sovereignty and security. We are being attacked!

Canadian customers, please ask your local managers to list more Canadian products in place of US products. This is urgent!
