@SpragueFoods I am a long time customer, your lentil and vegetable soup is the best canned soup out there. The situation with the tariffs is not sustainable. My hope is it will be short lived, our trade relationship and agreements should be respected and upheld. The tariff travesty is tragic

Tariffs may still feel abstract to many, so let me share something tangible to help everyone better understand the gravity of the situation. We employ 50 people at our Canadian cannery. A significant portion of our business is with US customers. For decades, we’ve operated under free trade and structured our business accordingly. Food canning is highly competitive, and we operate on thin profit margins. From March 4 to March 7, a 25% tariff was imposed on Canadian imports to the US. For shipments during just this short period, our customers were taxed a combined total of $26,632.12 USD. We've offered to absorb these costs to maintain our customer relationships for now. This arrangement isn't sustainable. 25% is simply too high of a tariff to absorb on an ongoing basis. If these tariffs persist, we risk losing a substantial—and the most profitable—portion of our business. Unless we make up for these losses in the Canadian market, it will lead to significant job losses and could even put us out of business completely. That's why we're urgently appealing to Canadian retailers: please list our products and other products made by Canadian food manufacturers affected by these tariffs. Do it now, please! We must swiftly respond to this economic warfare to protect Canada’s domestic food and beverage manufacturing industry. This is a matter of food sovereignty and security. We are being attacked! Canadian customers, please ask your local managers to list more Canadian products in place of US products. This is urgent!

THIS!

Only one side was shouting and it wasn’t @ZelenskyyUa Zelensky showed leadership, strength and grace, standing up to these two bullies, who lack the most basic human decency. Fix your headline @AppleNews Trump and Vance throw insults at Zelensky

“Christian Nationalists walk around with a mouth full of scripture and a heart full of hate…”

Kamala Harris was the perfect candidate and she ran a beautiful campaign of joy, empathy, and unity. She just happened to run in a nation that is addicted to nihilism, cruelty, and division.

This!

THIS IS POWERFUL. A 15-year-old girl watches how America talks about women. Wow.

I love this country with all my heart. And I believe in its promise—because I’ve lived it.

Being a woman is kind of like being a cyclist in a city where all the cars represent men. You're supposed to be able to share the road equally with cars, but that's not how it works. The roads are built for cars and you spend a great deal of physical and mental energy being defensive and trying not to get hurt. Some of the cars want you to get hurt. They think you don't have any place on the road at all. And if you do get hurt by a car, everyone makes excuses that it's your fault.

To get better at running, you have to run a lot. To be a better writer, you've got to sit down and write, even when you don't want to. If you want to get better at just about anything, you've got to do the work in the domain you care about. You can't hack your way to excellence

When we are alone, we judge hills to be steeper than if we are with a friend, according to research. Being with others makes the difficult seem just a bit more manageable.

I wanted to share some thoughts on what’s happening right now in Israel and Gaza. barackobama.medium.com/my-statement-o…

All Class! So beautiful.

This has not been sitting well with me. I've been indifferent to the submarine and likely because what I really feel is anger a cause from the injustice and hypocrisy. Where is the human decency?
