“… despair is not an option & it means you’ve gotta stand up & fight back, not only for yourselves, but for your kids, & in terms of climate change, for the future of the planet. […] It means you’ve gotta get out of your zone of comfort. It means you must be involved in the political process.”

This week’s grocery shop required some research! If I have to look up Canadian alternatives I might as well share here in case anyone needs help. Luckily Save-On-Foods already has a lot of Canadian brands (and distributors)! For coconut milk, I made this swap to Kosa. Let me know if there’s another!
