Canadians willing to pay a bit more for locally grown food over U.S. imports, survey says A new survey by Dalhousie University’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab shows that Canadians are choosing to buy locally grown products, even if it means prices are higher.

60.8% of Canadians are open to paying 5-10% more for 🇨🇦 produce, dairy & meat. Is this really a good time to replace prime farmland with an industrial mega-site?

The Countryside Line protected the distinctiveness of rural communities at a time when other cities in Ontario were annexing rural areas for suburban expansion. Now it's gone. We need new protections.

Expropriation is no joke. Support the residents and farmers by writing to local politicians to tell them Wilmot is not a willing host.

Tell local politicians we need our farmland more than ever. New Hamburg Independent headline: Is the Canada/U.S. tariff war making you rethink grocery shopping? Ontario grows more fresh produce than you might think. Image is a farm field with WIlmot Township Mayor, Chair of Region of Waterloo and Kitchener-Conestoga MPP.

Now's not the time to pave over farmland - especially not Class 1 prime farmland.
Write KitCon MPP, Chair of the Region of Waterloo and Wilmot Township Mayor today.

Photo of headline from the Waterloo Region Record: Not a giant step for bungled Wilmot Land Grab: Only 20% of eligible voters in Kitchener-Conestoga voted for Mike Harris Jr. Includes background of farmland with photos of the Mayor of Wilmot Township, Chair of Region of Waterloo and Kitchener-Conestoga Member of Provincial Parliament.

John Jordan rebuts Luisa D'Amato's opinion piece. He argues that it's "Time to nix the plans and start over with a transparent and proper process."

Higher prices are expected due to tariffs, so long-term planning and new builds are likely off the table for companies.

But we need to feed Canadians, so prime farmland is more important than ever.

These three are falling inline with Doug Ford who’s betting the farm to protect his JOB and helping him sell out Ontario and Canada. 🇨🇦
