Just wondering when your book is coming out and if you have any resources you would recommend. We are all busy moms and want a quick list to refer to when grocery shopping? Thanks! Hi there,
My girlfriends and I were talking about buying Canadian for one week only, just to see if we could do it. Just wondering when your book is coming out and if you have any resources you would recommend. We are all busy moms and want a quick list to refer to when grocery shopping?
Thanks!

Forty to fifty years ago, almost everything was made in Canada. Yes, we produced every kind of food and drink (you would have liked Canada's own Kik Cola - check it out online). We made every kind of tool and toy, plus hardware right down to our electrical wiring plus all kinds of stationary from typewriters to pencils and - of course - paper. Not to mention cars, bikes, planes, sporting goods and of course, all kinds of clothes, hats and shoes (remember Bata before it went global?). All made right here in the Dominion of C. As a kid, I remember Kitsilano when it was still dotted with factories where we made everything from beer to boomerangs. After school, I myself made kitchen graters, telephone parts and lighting fixtures. I used to think it would be nice to have a Made in Canada museum to amaze younger Canadians with how self-sufficient we were, not that long ago...

I'm not sure if that fits the requirements but I thought I would let you know there might be an option out there for a sugar fix. You could eat Cadbury, the Mr Big bar is manufactured in Toronto.

Well, if not, that's quite the unexpected detox programme! Not easy at the best of times, major sugar & caffeine withdrawal, eh? How about herbal teas? Inuit wildcrafted traditional Arctic herbal teas are lovely, unusual [like Cloudberry] and profits support the local cultural programs; Northern Delights is the brand [and full disclosure, we stock it]. And any Canadian honey would be a superb winter pick up, in tea, yoghurt [as above], etc, no? And/or how about Maple or exotic Birch syrup? With 'Wildly Canadian' steel-cut oats, apples, dried or frozen berries, etc? Bircher muesli style too is nice as a snack served chilled. Wild Blueberry Juice from NS is fab too, apple cider? Lots of wholesome alternatives to Coke, no? Also wild rice, Arctic Char, etc? I'm making myself hungry... Best of luck, great blog/adventure, cheers! What, no donuts?

But I could not live without milk! Lots of Canadian cows and dairies. Have really enjoyed your 2011 blog. Great way to lose weight. But I could not live without milk!
