You should see the plans for the new Super Princess Auto across the street from their headquarters in Winnipeg. Like triple the size of a normal PA haha.

I saw something about that, I can remember which northern community. Energy costs and available daylight (or even more energy to mimic it) are hurdles.

Eby has decided to include all US alcohol now, not just the products from red states.

This is the Sheerness Generating Station in Alberta. It demonstrates the problem that Canadian power plants have. It is in the middle of no place. It has no district to heat, unlike the Swedish and European plants that are built down town. As a result the Swedes and Europeans get to turn their Power Plants into Combined Heat and Power Plants and drive the thermal efficiency up from 30% to 90%. Sheerness was converted from coal to natural gas. You can actually see the coal mine in the background. You can also see the cooling pond in the foreground.
....
Combustion yields water and CO2. Plants grow from water and CO2.
....
I keep wondering how much of the district that stack could heat, and how many tomatoes it could produce, if the district were glassed over. Or what it would take to use the flue gas and water to grow duckweed for animal feed.
Carbon Capture.
...
SHEERNESS MINE
The Sheerness Mine, with 7,000 hectares now under reclamation, traditionally supplied up to 3.4 million tonnes annually of production to the two-unit 780-MW Sheerness Generating Station over 32 years.

Random anecdote, so YMMV, but just did a quick grocery run and universally anything labeled as from the USA was not even touched, and a lot of things (like oranges) which are normally from the USA were sourced elsewhere. Two different Starbucks I went by were also dead, which is unusual for those locations.
All small incremental things, but I think there will be impacts on sales of anything from the US in Canada at the consumer level for the next while, and for things where they change suppliers, that's usually a hard one to switch back to afterwards.
FAFO at the micro level I guess.

Good follow on piece from CNN. Since Trump negotiated and signed "the greatest deal ever" aka USMCA that included a volume of sales based threshold for applying the agreed to tariff of 200% on US Dairy, US dairy producers have never sold the amount necessary to trigger the tariff.
So, bottom line, exactly zero tariffs on US Dairy have been applied, collected, or paid in the last decade.
So far Canadians are stepping up and showing their patriotism like never before. My wife just came back from our neighborhood Loblaws store a few moments ago and she told me that products labelled as Canadian are flying off the shelves with many sections totally sold out. Hopefully, once the Trump problem is over and done with (if ever), Canadians will still show a preference for Canadian products.
I did, however, watch the Liberal convention and noticed that during the singing of our national anthem, very few were actually singing along, with quite looking more like they were just muttering something.

In the immortal words to Team America: World Police, America fuck yeah!
As always with Trump…lie, lie, lie…and each time saying it more outrageously and embellishing the lie more than the previous lie. Herr Goebbels and Roy Cohn taught Trump well. (I’m assuming everyone knows who Roy Cohn is.)

Yep. I was at Superstore this morning and a quick survey of the fruit and veg aisles revealed a single US supplied product.

Our greenhouses are profitable because of our location. We can operate year round because of it. Our climate is conducive to it. We are on the same latitude as Northern Cali and Rome, Italy. Lots of sun, year round, very moderate temps, right on the most used border crossing in NA and on Hwy 401. Things like snow load and wind have little effect here. The further north you go the less profitable greenhouses become.
Plus Tesla stock absolutely shit itself. Down 15.43% on the day, and over 50% since mid December. Musk is destroying the value of the brand.

We need to be careful with stones. Our own government is very far from truthful. Our new PM has been shy about press coverage given all the lies he's been caught in already. Basically, whenever he opens his mouth. Trudeau's nose should be able to circle the globe a couple of times. This is not a defense of trump, but if we're going to pick on personality traits, we need to be clean on our side.
