Feb 2, 2025 Friends, Today, we are so proud to be Canadians, and there’s nowhere else on the entire planet we would rather be! The US tariffs that were announced are going to affect people, communities, jobs and livelihoods for Canadians from every walk of life. We love this country. 12 years ago, we lost our home in the war in Syria in the blink of an eye… 9 years ago, Canada was the only country in the world that said to our family: “Welcome home”. Over those 9 years, we visited the country’s lakes and oceans and breathed in its nature. We watched hockey and survived some harsh winters. We drove around provinces and towns with rich and varied histories. Through it all, Canadians have shared with us their warm hearts, big dreams and aspirations for what they want Canada to be. We are a nation of freedom, peace, respect, fairness, inclusion, democracy, diversity, compassion, kindness, politeness, and empathy. Because of all of you, we get to do what we love right here in Canada, and we proudly do so. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your support.Standing behind local Canadian businesses has a great impact on the future of our economy and communities that thrive when we choose to support each other. That’s the beauty of Canada. We stand together. We grow together. |
