It’s up to Canadian producers of cereals, dips and other finished foods to now crease buying honey from international sources, to buying Cdn, to help keep Cdn beekeepers in business. These bees are also used to pollinate fruit farms across Canada. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Beekeepers appeal for emergency federal help, as U.S. tariffs on honey threaten survival of hives
Beekeepers warn that tariffs risk closure of hives, which could effect the pollination of crops, including blueberries

A conservative municipal candidate just rang the doorbell. It did not go well...for him. I was civil but angry. This MF so stupid he was kicked out of Doug Ford's caucus. That's impressive stupidity, to raise the ire of the most corrupt politician in Canadian history. Straight up told him...

Doug Ford likes to play “Captain Canada.” 🇨🇦 But while he talks about buying Canadian, his government keeps sending Ontario tax dollars to American companies. Ontario deserves more than words. #onpoli
