When you buy local, you're giving 2 gifts:
💝 One to your loved ones and one to your community. ✨

Choose locally owned businesses & products made or grown in BC & you support your friends & neighbours, create jobs, and invest in your community’s future. 🌟 #BCBuyLocal

It is outrageous that any company would make the decision to just grab the Visa and Mastercard reductions intended for very small businesses.

Stripe says it won’t reduce merchant fees despite Ottawa’s deals with credit-card firms https://t.co/0eK2BPATin
