Sure ….. you have been indoctrinated with the idea that life does not exists beyond Rogers / Bell, Air Canada/ Westjet, Weston/Walmart and other monopolies …. You use cheap labour in the farms. No reason to be more expensive. If it is, don’t make it. Make something can compete.
They all compete in their industries within the country they exist. An “illegal alien” picking strawberries in California isn’t paid close to a seasonal worker picking them in Ontario, Canada. I prefer not to further exploit these workers in the US so I can save 50 cents.
Went to LCBO to get a bottle of Canadian wine. It was 29-32$ a few months ago. 37$ now. Affected by tariffs? Just take advantage of “buy Canadian”.
