The Ontario govt took $60M out of public education and handed it to Staples. Tomorrow, 80K elementary teachers each get $750 of the misappropriated money to buy overpriced classroom supplies at an 🇺🇸 corporation. Please remember this the next time Captain Canada tells you to #BuyCanadian. #OntEd

A chart of school supplies showing the price difference between ordering through the school board or ordering from Staples. Staples is always more expensive.

#ElbowsUp! by #BuyCanadian. I also shop for my in-laws: to satisfy their craving for packaged kale salad, took a pic of the Taylor's (EEK!) mix ingredient label and will make a version with local produce for them. Made peach jam & dill pickles last week. Tomatoes from our garden. Details in alt.text

Groceries laid out on a wood-topped kitchen island. At bottom left: a bowl of garden cherry tomatoes, seven jars of homemade peach jam, vase of garden basil, five garden tomatoes, and a jar of chopped local garlic in oil, a gift from a neigihbour. Behind these at left are other Canadian items: farmers' market cantaloupe, purple plums, blueberry peaches; Nova Scotia Fisherman hand lotion; two cans crushed tomatoes; two Buffalo mozzarella, tub of ricotta cheese, pound of unsalted butter and Miller's Dairy milk in 2L glass bottle; breadcrumbs and foccaccia from Stratford's Downie Street Bakery; Canadian chicken thighs, tuna, sliced chicken and local summer sausage; Barilla pasta shells and Que Pasa salsa; Partake no-alcohol beer; two packages of mushrooms, a green cabbage, bag of green beans, Italian parsley, bag of salad greens, two cobs of corn, small bag of Brussels sprouts (for replicating the bagged kale salad mix - kale is actually the third ingredient after cabbage and broccoli); Carna4 dog food and some Canadian-made doggy poo bags; sample of Canadian wines - Burnt Ship Sauvignon Blanc and Speck Brothers Chardonnay (our favourites in those varietals). The only non-Canadian items are an avocado, four bananas, a plastic tub of pitted kalamata olives, Boursin cheese and some Cashel blue cheese from Ireland, on sale.

Canning season hath begun. (Or as my husband says, you use JARS! Why isn't it jarring instead of canning?) #Peach #jam #Dill #Pickles #Preserves

Two small glass jars of peach jam with a label on each saying Peachy! 2026 and two taller glass jars filled with sliced cucumbers that will become dill pickles after marinating in the pickling juice. In the far background is a red vase with red gladioli flowers in it.

Next, Canadian produce from local markets: Bunch of green onions, three sweet peppers, four cobs of corn, bag of green beans, peaches (four in picture but bought a basket); three heads of garlic, six small cucumbers (bought a big basket of these: homemade dill pickles ahead to use up a bonanza of garden dill); two packages shiitake mushrooms. Canadian meats, poultry and fish: Hayter's ground turkey; Wild Hog chorizo sausages; Atlantic salmon fillets; package of Canadian chicken thighs; pack of Lake Erie yellow perch; two cheese wedges from Stratford's Montforte Dairy.
