Carney wrote the speech. Charles is delivering it but it’s sweet to hear him speak those words.

Seeing less US produce here in Ontario. Citrus is from Egypt, Morocco, Mexico, and South Africa. Lettuce is hydroponic and local. Can’t see returning to US produce, especially if they are cutting food safety standards.

*Fibe*. Fucking autocorrect.

It’s widespread according to the CBC. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Fine is down for me. I’m outside Toronto. 😬

I hear you. We have purchased hydroponic lettuce grown locally. It was quite nice. It’s not a full salad, but it’s a start. I think things will shift with enough demand. I also saw this news item out of King City. ca.news.yahoo.com/watch-ontari...

The person is trying to connect with you even if it doesn’t seem that way. Their brain can’t always follow. Do not ask them questions. Instead, try statements like, “You grew the best roses.” And see where that goes. If they switch topics, follow them there. It’s HARD!!💔
