Chapman’s says it will maintain current pricing despite tariffs that increase its costs. It is seeking new suppliers after decades of working with US firms. It is the only fully Canadian-owned ice cream company.

« ... Si au Canada, les consommateurs achètent une canne de soupe Aylmer par semaine, ils vont collectivement sauver 100 emplois. C’est tout ce que je demande ».

Est-ce que, collectivement, on est capables de faire en sorte que les entreprises canadiennes n'aient plus à exporter leurs produits vers les États-Unis en compensant la perte des ventes par nos achats ?

La Voix de l'Est · Guerre commerciale: cri du cœur du plus grand fabricant de soupe au CanadaBy Jean-Luc Lorry

@cbcnews Your headline: “Should Canada turn the other cheek?” is so offensive that words fail me. We are not ever contemplating “turning the other cheek”. We are promoting #BuyCanadian, we are building new trade agreements, we are loudly proclaiming our Canadian pride and posting #ElbowsUp. You should be reinforcing this rather than trying to play devil’s advocate. There is no negotiating with evil, no pacifying a bully. #ShameOnYou. #FourthEstateFilth cbc.ca/news/canada/tariffs-ret

CBCSome countries aren't retaliating against Trump's tariffs. Should Canada 'turn the other cheek'? | CBC NewsFaced with tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, some countries have decided, so far, to respond by turning the other cheek, and not retaliate with their own duties.

Let's stop dicking around and talk about ditching something big: Visa and Mastercard

lemmy.caLet's stop dicking around and talk about ditching something big: Visa and Mastercard - Lemmy.caVisa and Mastercard are American companies, and they essentially tax everybody by taking a percentage of purchase prices for themselves. Not exactly a small percentage either, 1.2% to 2.65% [https://money.ca/credit-cards/how-much-are-canadian-merchants-really-charged-by-visa-mc]. Ever wonder why so many merchants say they don’t accept American Express? That’s because they charge quite a bit more to merchantes, 50% more than Visa or Mastercard. Anyway, we’re letting American companies tax us and we love them because we get rewards when we use cards. But it’s just a shell game because we pay more up front because businesses need to charge more to make up for payment processing charges. They get to sit in the middle and rake in the money. Now the alternative in Canada is Interac. Interac charges a set amount per transcation. How much? 2 to 5.5 cents [https://www.interac.ca/en/payments/business/understanding-fees/]. Unless you’re going through Apple or Google Pay, and then it’s a percentage again. Interac is also Canadian. Want to stick it to Trump? Stop using credit cards (and Google Pay or Apple Pay) and switch to Interac. Want to make Canada better? Stop using credit cards and switch to Interac. Is it going to be inconvenient? Yes. Online shopping will be much harder but I have seen online Interac payments before and we can ask our favourite Canadian merchants to accept Interac online.

US produce wears out welcome with Victoria, British Columbia grocery store

The store says it has made moves to source all 380 of its fruits and vegetable from non-American growers

“Prior to all of this, one of our most popular spinach was Popeye Spinach. We used to sell 60 to 80 bags a day of that stuff,” said Innis. “In the last week that we had it, we sold two bags. That’s a message.”

Saanich News · U.S. produce wears out welcome with Victoria grocery storeBy Liam Razzell

HBC was started in 1670. Its downfall was accelerated after it was bought out by an American businessman and then an American equity company.

Another Canadian business was ruined by Americans. Why do we let this happen over and over?

As we push for #BuyCanadian, we must show disagreement for our most successful businesses getting acquired by capitalists from foreign countries.
