I went grocery shopping yesterday here in Canada. The store is awesome. Shelves full of American products not touched. I needed broccoli for example. The cheapest broccoli was American. The area was heaped high with fresh green broccoli. Not one touched from the morning produce stock at noon. The only other option was broccoli from Guatemala. It was completely sold out. All gone. The produce guy says it flew off the shelves but don't buy that other stuff. It's American.

They do. But I don't buy them because I have chickens. There's an article in Canadian news today that illegal fentanyl crossing the border has dropped by 34% but illegal eggs crossing is up by 116%. That's from Canada to the US. I have chickens and a boat and ancestors who were rum runners. Perhaps an egg business is in order. ๐Ÿ˜‚
