@FoodProfessor Excellent work.

The top podcast in the WORLD on food economics is a Canadian podcast — and it’s ours. Pretty cool. None of this would be possible without the genius of Michael LeBlanc, our producer and co-host, who keeps making the show smarter, sharper, and better every week. Thank you all for listening and supporting The Food Professor Podcast.

Was presented with a new app designed to help Canadians save money at the grocery store, no matter where you are in the country: Gofer! Please try it and let me know what you think. Link below...

@FoodProfessor Thank You Sylvain for taking time to speak with us yesterday.

@FoodProfessor Love to talk to you about our new grocery app gofer.run that saves a family of 4 hundreds of dollars per month.

Something is truly shifting in how Canadians are getting their news. Our podcast is now number one in Canada, even outperforming major American podcasts. We’re now ranked ahead of The Globe and Mail's podcast, BNN Bloomberg, and CNBC for business news. Access to unfiltered news is becoming increasingly important for Canadians. Thank you for listening! Off to Montreal today for SIAL Canada, where we’re proud to be the official podcast for the event.

@FoodProfessor Condolences to you and your family.

Some personal news. Lost my brother this week. The guy who looked after me when I was a kid. The one who coached my baseball teams. The one who loved his hometown, Farnham, with everything he had. The one who taught me how to play hockey. The one who inspired me to become a DJ. The one who got me my first board seat at the Farnham youth center. The one who bought me my first car. The one who helped me start a business when I was young… that guy. He’s gone. Jean—“Charlie” at home—passed away wednesday at 61. A father of three, a grandfather of two, taken far too quickly by an aggressive cancer that gave us only weeks. I broke down when I found out in early March. I was at the Toronto airport, waiting for a flight. I’ll never forget that moment. I knew time wasn’t on our side. We asked him what he wanted to do. He wanted to see the Blue Jays play Los Angeles Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani in Toronto. My twin brother Patrick pulled off something incredible—planned a trip in days. Early April. The Fairmont Royal York. Even some curling, dressed as bananas with the “Peel,” before the game. The Jays lost 14–2. Didn’t matter. We were together. And deep down, we all knew it would be the last time. Tonight, I’m thinking about my father, who just lost his first son. No parent should have to live that. I’m thinking about his daughters—Roxanne, Laurie, Rosalie—his granddaughters Élise and Alice, and Alex, the father. An entrepreneur for over four decades. Vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce. President of the Farnham golf club. He loved Farnham—and Farnham loved him back. This is a brutal loss for our family. But that’s life. F*ck cancer. Rest easy, my big brother. Go join Mom—she’s been watching over us for nearly 17 years. Give her a hug for all of us. Salut, Charlie.

@FoodProfessor Again why not market gofer.run to its citizens. We save grocery shoppers on average 25% on groceries. I doubt the city could that.

BREAKING: Toronto approves city-run grocery stores In a 21–3 vote, councillors backed Anthony Perruzza’s plan to launch 4 municipally run stores to offer cheaper food. Big test for public retail.

Confessions of a Serial Entrepreneur – In the Beginning Before I get into the post just a quick update: gofer.run is closing in on 8,000 monthly active users.. Our goal is to get to 10,000 by months end...gofer.run/marksherry/con…

@BlendrNews Just launched a Canadian app that saves family big bucks on groceries. We save families about 25%.

🇨🇦 Canada is Objectively Broken In 2024, 25.5% of people—10 million—are food insecure. 2.5 million children face uncertainty about their next meal. Food insecurity rose 63% from 2019–2024. Is this unavoidable, an unintended consequence, or purposeful?

@Tablesalt13 Just launched a grocery app called gofer.run that shops your grocery list across all stores in your neighbourhood giving you the best combination of stores to shop at for the items on your list. Saves customers about 25%. It is free as well.

🚨BREAKING New report: poverty and food insecurity in Canada jumps FORTY percent since 2023 ...some Canadians are going FULL DAYS without eating. The solutions? All taxpayer funded! Communism is coming.

I had a good interview with Markus Schwabe yesterday morning. Listen below. Morning North with Markus Schwabe - March 9, 2026: Tech startup in North Bay says it’s created an app to compare prices across grocery stores to help shoppers save money cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

We officially launched our grocery app called gofer.run today. Download from any app store and start saving on groceries. We ring the bell in the office when we have hit a milestone either personal or professional. This is a big day for all of us. Kudos to the team.

@Martyupnorth Marty, I posted a somewhat related topic, see below. We are launching an app called gofer.run this coming week in Canada. It saves consumers money as we shop your grocery list at all the stores in your neighbourhood in real time. linkedin.com/posts/mark-she…

Even former NDP leader Thomas Mulcair thinks that Avi Lewis is a lunatic. "...the very idea of having the government involved in something like groceries is mind boggling...."
