ALL HANDS ON DECK FOR CANADA
Canada is going through a remarkable moment as consumers send a powerful message: we want to build Canada, support Canadian jobs, and strengthen Canadian businesses. In this episode of Meidas Canada, Charlie Angus looks at the growing boycott of American goods and what it means for Canadian corporations. East Coast correspondent Lisa Blackburn examines two very different examples of corporate citizenship: Chapman’s Ice Cream, which is investing in Canada and embracing its Canadian identity, and Loblaws, whose record on consumer trust raises very different questions. When Canadians choose to support Canadian businesses, what responsibility do those businesses have to Canadians? 🇨🇦 Watch, share, and join the conversation. #MeidasTouch #BuyCanadian #MadeInCanada #Chapmans #Loblaws #CanadianBoycott ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe to The Resistance: charlieangus.substack.com Follow MeidasCanada: Facebook: @meidascanada Instagram: @meidascanada Bluesky: @meidascanada.ca "If There Was a Revolution" © 2026 Chuck Angus (SOCAN).

THE RESISTANCE GROWS STRONGER EVERY DAY
Meidas Canada East Coast correspondent Lisa Blackburn takes us to a little chocolate factory in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, with a story that is anything but little. Peace by Chocolate, is a Canadian chocolate company founded by the Hadhad family after they were forced to flee Syria and rebuild their lives in Canada. From a family that lost almost everything came a company built on resilience, community, peace — and an unwavering belief in the promise of Canada. Today, Peace by Chocolate is also showing what it means for Canadians to stand up when we are challenged. As Donald Trump threatens Canadian sovereignty and our economy, this small Nova Scotian business has chosen not to surrender. Instead, they are standing proudly as Canadians. 🍫 LEARN MORE & ORDER PEACE BY CHOCOLATE https://peacebychocolate.ca/ Peace by Chocolate — Antigonish Store 344 Main Street Antigonish, NS B2G 2C5 📧 [email protected] ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe to The Resistance: charlieangus.substack.com Follow MeidasCanada: Facebook: @meidascanada Instagram: @meidascanada Bluesky: @meidascanada.ca "If There Was a Revolution" © 2026 Chuck Angus (SOCAN).
