Canadian content restaurants

[GDR]

Stopped at a Mary Brown's last night. Happy to see their advertising says their chicken is raised by Canadian farmers.

McDonald's promotes and advertises Canadian beef.

Should be good pr and advertising for them but also win win for farmers.

What other businesses proudly support or acknowledge Canadian Agricultute?

There are quite a number of restaurants in Calgary that serve Canadian sourced ingredients only. And about half a dozen or so that only serve Alberta only menus. The River Cafe is the most famous (a Michelin 5 star restaurant) and they've been doing it for about 20 years. They even grow their own herbs and and spices. Ain't cheap, but I'll eat there any day!

And A&W isn't.

Not promoting the idea, but has anyone ever considered why the entertainment industry is supported by Canadian Content rules, but no one else? Why aren't we forced to drink a certain % of canadian Beer, or read Canadian books, or eat a % of Canadian pineapples etc.?

Carrots are from Outlook sask.
Taste awesome.the only ones we buy.

AB5 makes a good point, what's so special about the arts that they need content rules and other industries don't. Oh ya it's because we suck at that!

Wonder if that is ever an issue with our trade partners like supply management and such is?

I asked about them today but apparently they're done till summer , too bad

What brand name do those Outlook carrots go by?

PET feared the US influence on our culture and set the content rules.
New technology sure gets around it. Without it the CBC would have to change.

They sure are good ! Compared to california carrots

[farmaholic]

Where are they available? Co-op, Sobey's/Safeway, Stoopidstore?
Do they produce enough to supply a whole year, they would store under the right conditions, like potatoes?

I always wondered how California carrots can be so woody and tasteless. Do Outlook carrots taste more like garden carrots? About 30 years ago I attended a convention in Saskatoon partially supported by Department of Regional Economic Expansion. Different farm value-added ventures were highlighted. One of the speakers was Elysse ---- I forgot her last name. Her story was how an over abundance of potatoes turned into perogies and then quickly grew into Saskatchewan Fresh Pack. Its been a long time but this story has been fixed in my mind and every time I see the bag with the prairie lily logo, I think of her remarkable story.

They had this young couple on farm gate awhile ago.
