There is this company who started growing bananas on the north shore of Montréal. Their initial testing went very well and they are planning on increasing their production right now. Very interesting stuff.
That’s super cool. I’d absolutely spend extra for Montreal bananas.
My home province of BC has been doing pretty good at growing stuff in hothouses, I’ve even routinely buying local lettuce and peppers and mushrooms from big stores like Costco even before the boycott started.
So we can do this. It will take some time to ramp up and getting imports from allies will help with us this transition period and beyond.
