Another crise de conscience. My preferred organic breakfast cereal is made in Canada but with American products. Do I support the Canadian company but also the American farmers? Because there doesn't seem to be any wholly Canadian cereals available (odd) except for oats. So maybe it's back to the overnight oats for me. (There are cereals from England available but they seem to be sugar-heavy. Mostly granola.)
However I got myself over to Bathurst in spite of the winds of spring that made climbing the broken curbing at Dupont a dicey proposition, and John's Shoe Repair can indeed resole New Balances, even if John himself can't be arsed to help a customer wrestling with his door, a walker, and the winds of spring. So will get shoes resoled but not any time soon. Especially since we've been snowing and sleeting yesterday and today and have a freezing rain warning for the weekend.

Free trade has been around for decades so the American-owned Canadian-produced model is the norm. Wholly Canuck cereals exist but they're small outfits, mostly situated out west where the grain is. And I have no idea if they're affected by provincial trade barriers.

We do have vast cereal fields but we also have vast everything else. Cf the English woman travelling cross country by train: 'You'd think they might take a tuck in it!' Granted it's most marked in the central prairie provinces, with no landmarks to break the flat-to-the-horizon-ness, that still leaves a lot left.

To be fair, I haven't been able to find that brand again. But it was organic which may explain why it was imported.
