Proud Canadian - wondering what is going on in this world.

[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!

Here’s the GoFundMe for Umar Zameer’s legal funds. He and his family face massive legal costs after the crown recklessly prosecuted him and he was smeared by politicians and folks in the media.

Please give what you can and/or share.

Education is about including more voices and empowering students. Limiting the curriculum to YOUR views is about indoctrination and is abuse. #1MillionMarch4Chidren

#1MillionMarch4Chidren is a fascist movement

Parents who want to force teachers to disclose everything about their children ought to oppose the Catholic church’s practice of confession.

The Church has a long history of heinous abuse and requires priests to keep secrets from parents.

Better shut it down.

For an “unarmed peaceful protest” there was a lot of charges at the Convoy!
Here’s the list of all charges from the convoy presented at the #EAInquiry
•15 charges involved weapons!
•27 others were attempts/threats of violence not involving weapons
So much for it being peaceful!

#WizardOfLies is a fantastic new spot by @MeidasTouch that follows Dr. Oz’s yellow brick road of bullshit, scams, quackery, and lies.

So the leader of the Conservative party is chumming up with a neo-nazi.

Yep, good ol' Canadian values.

If Thomas is correct, wouldn't the Supreme Court's 1967 decision in Loving v. Virginia also have to be reversed, barring him from marrying Ginni?

@WestJet Thank you to Shelly and Luca who were both extremely helpful with changing a reservation today due to a schedule change. Both were very understanding and helpful.
