Now, More Than Ever<br />

Chili Sauce. There is a specific chili<br />

sauce that I love from an Ontario farm<br />

located close to Lake Huron. I have jars<br />

in my fridge and pantry all year long.<br />

And then, early <strong>2020</strong> happened. My<br />

husband and I adhered to the stay at<br />

home notices and during that time I<br />

fretted that he was using too much of<br />

my beloved chili sauce. Shopping trips<br />

were limited to my local grocery store,<br />

where selection of many food products<br />

was limited, or non-existent and chili<br />

sauce was limited to a product no longer<br />

produced in Canada. It was stunning<br />

to see empty shelves in a Canadian<br />

grocery store.<br />

From this event two very important<br />

ideas become crystal clear:<br />

... we haven’t changed every one of these listings<br />

1) supporting our locally produced<br />

food supply is not just a thoughtful<br />

thing to do, or a special treat for<br />

us, it is critical to our success as<br />

a province and as a country. Give<br />

away our food supply and we<br />

are forever dependant on other<br />

countries. A country the size of<br />

Canada should be able to provide<br />

a substantial amount of our own<br />

food requirements.<br />

2) I hesitate to pay $3.00 for jam<br />

in a national grocery chain, but I<br />

willingly shell out $6.00 for a local<br />

farm produce jam. Why? Because<br />

they taste better, and I understand<br />

the ingredients on the label.<br />

I realize not everyone can<br />

afford that, but the foundation<br />

of economics comes into play<br />

here—supply and demand.<br />

The more people want it,<br />

the more produced, and the<br />

lower the overall price. More<br />

importantly, we secure our<br />

food supply.<br />

From this point forward, I<br />

pledge to support Canadian<br />

farmers to the best of my<br />

ability, purposely sourcing<br />

and promoting locally grown<br />

fruit, vegetables, meat and<br />

dairy, as well as products like<br />

jams, preserves, and I will<br />

support butchers, wineries and craft<br />

beer producers and other producers of<br />

food in Ontario.<br />

In addition, I will frequent small<br />

independent restaurants that promote<br />
