We have seen thee, queen of cheese,
Lying quietly at your ease…

James McIntyre (1828–1906) was born in Forres, & later emigrated to Canada. He wrote poetry, much of it about cheese. His “Ode on the Mammoth Cheese Weight Over 7,000 Pounds“ was about a huge cheese produced in Ingersoll in 1866 & sent to various international exhibitions.

What's this?

Orange juice for one cent?

These are #Canadian shelves, and these are #American products

This is at a Loblaws in #Ontario, photo taken on Monday

#Canada retailers pretty much have to give #USA products away as Canadians #boycott the #US and #Trump's bellicose verbal diarrhea and #tariffs

#Florida #citrus growers: you voted for this

(ps:

the food banks don't have any room for this juice, because so much unsold American food is already going to the food banks)
