I’m really happy to see this. I was hoping it would happen.

Hoping it’s Canada wide. I’ve seen 🇺🇸 produce piled up when I’ve been shopping.

Both very happy to see Canada continue standing up to my country's incredibly stupid bully of a president, and that the food will go to feed hungry people.

It's good to see something positive coming out of all this chaos. I hope that all grocery stores across the country follow suit.

The article says 300-400 kgs. That’s ~1000lbs.!!

I’m sure grocery chains will change where they buy from, but this is a silver lining in the meantime.

Silver lining!

And Canadians are buying Canadian products, boosting the economy.

Canada will emerge from this stronger and America weaker.

It’s truly a shame that one idiot is destroying a beautiful partnership.

Protip: A lot of marked-down produce can be used to make "aguas frescas", especially fruits. Lots of recipes on line. Even works for cucumbers.

It’s sad that American farmers are getting screwed by Trump. Trump has made more enemies and he continues to earn the HATE!
