The CBC reports that seafood companies from the Canadian Maritimes attended the annual Boston Seafood Expo this week, like always, but that this time, instead of trying to sell more fish in a country run by a tariff-mad tyrant, they found themselves making pitches to other Canadians.
The CBS quoted Prince Edward Island Fisheries, Tourism, Sport and Culture Minister Zack Bell:
Bell said his biggest surprise has been the number of Canadians approaching P.E.I. businesses at the Boston show. As much as the industry has been trying to push into non-U.S. international markets, he feels these discussions are important.
"In Canada, we don't eat probably near enough seafood. And that's really what we want to try to push out… buy local, buy often."
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

If the government removes all catch limits, which would be great until the populations crash and then we have nothing. Which is something they would do, because we are currently governed by people with no concept of object permanence.
Canada exported $6.1 billion worth of fish to the US in 2021 (most recent year I could find quickly). That's a lot of fish to make up when tariffs price it out of the US market.
Looks like I may be heading..,
