I see this at the grocery stores I frequent — lots more fresh produce coming in from Mexico and South America now.
I certainly haven’t purchased any American produce or meat since the 51st state threats began. I keep expecting that to be difficult but their stuff is becoming increasingly rare o the shelves.
I actually stopped to get lettuce the other day. The first store only had from the USA and it was clearly going bad because no one was buying it. The same was true at the next store. The third store had Mexican lettuce, it was nice and fresh looking but they were running out.
I'm not a big fan of shipping product halfway across the globe but at the moment there is no Canadian grown in the stores.
I’m blessed because BC grown lettuce is quite plentiful in our stores in Vancouver. And it’s not some specialty boutique product, I was doing that before the boycotts began not just because it was local but because it was good and reasonably priced.
There are several large-scale “vertical” hydroponic farms operating here in BC now, and I bet there are some in Quebec with its plentiful hydro power — or if not there will be more coming because they aren’t crazy hard to setup.
