Now if buying Canadian meant having better options. Crave is the only Canadian streaming platform I know of and on top of giving money to Bell, it’s… not great.

Very annoying that local produce is more expensive than US ones. Strawberries, blueberries, etc.
Thats because they have lower food safety and labour standards down there…
That’s also corporate funding and buying power. They will fund lower prices to crush the little guy and then raise their prices when the little guys are gone.
They can buy their fertilizer, diesel, and seeds in bulk at discount. Your little guy cannot.
And when there’s a disaster localized to you?
Your little guy will be there, keeping his produce on the shelf, while the big guys products can’t get through because shipping routes are closed.
Do you want cheaper blueberries or blueberries uncontaminated by E. coli and Cyclosporiasis?
Local produce, when in season, is worth the extra price. We buy ours from a garden center that has an agreement with area farmers. Much better berries than you can buy at the grocery store.
