I hadn't thought of that, the tariffs. So I won't get one until they
are off. I already only buy French ketchup after what Heinz did to
our farmers after their crop was growing and I see Canadian dairies
are processing a logo which will go on all dairy products to guarantee
that they are pure Canadian. I don't want milk from cows fed hormones
etc.
