    Why is every picture of the Buy Canadian concept is always about alcohol? I do enjoy a good whiskey or a nice cocktail every now and then but alcohol is the first thing to be cut back if times are hard : will slowly finish the bottles I have but won’t buy any more until finances are healthy again.

    What % of the gdp is alcohol? We should focus on something else even if less visible. Dropping fruits that are grown in the US or grown in Mexico through a US company seems way more interesting to me. I can be a week without alcohol but not so much without any fruits and vegetables.

      Probably because a photo of broccoli doesn’t really look any different if it’s Canadian or American.
