NEW - What Farmers Are Really Saying About the Trade Deal
Description
Traveling with kids ranges from toddler tantrums to teenage grumpiness, and this conversation opens with two parents comparing their worst flights before turning toward the news of the week. Lesley Kelly and Jimmy Zoubris then get into the return of American booze to Canadian shelves and whether anyone actually wants it there.
Buying Canadian Even When It's Optional
Jimmy Zoubris explains the symbolic reasoning behind restocking American alcohol as leverage, while Lesley Kelly points out that her own spending habits have shifted toward Canadian products regardless of what is available. Both agree the real signal is in where the money goes, not what is on the shelf.
