Well keep going. I don't use YouTube or Twitter when I go buy food. These slick slight of hand tech tools aren't allowing Ontario greenhouses to put peppers and tomatoes in the grocery store. I've looked in many stores and it's all the same -- product of mexico - even though there are lots of Ont producers for these products.

Citizen21..it's called cross-border trading agreements. However, there is a section in our own grocery stores that say "locally grown". I know Soby's sells hydroponic lettuce grown in Norwich but it's expensive.

Right now we are getting cherries from California (SanFransico). They are great and not as expensive as our local cherries sold at the stands when in season here. Tomatoes when sold in the summer at these open stands are ridiculously priced compared to the stores and the tomatoes in the stores are juicier and last longer. This is only from my own shopping experience and just my opinion.
