Meet us half way
Dear Editor:
An open letter to Premier Doug Ford.
I completely agree with your statement that to avoid U.S. tariffs and other disrupters from foreign countries, we Ontarians should look for ways to buy from our own province, or at least country.
As you well know because of labour costs and environmental laws often it is more expensive to buy Ontarian or Canadian than to buy from China and Taiwan, etc.
How about meeting the consumer half way? Push buying from our own province and give a tax break for doing so. A couple percent would make little difference to the extra cost of buying from our own, but it would certainly show some government commitment.
What do you think?
Michael Lee, Salem
