Of course we can and do grow it! We have tons of orchards and farms.
We have so much Canadian lettuce it’s not even hard to avoid US grown. Apples? I only buy Canadian for years because they have flavour.
Do we have some catching up to do? Sure. But it’s driven by demand. We stop buying US and it’ll drive demand for Canadian and others (friendlies) for sure.

We can’t grow enough to supply 40million people is what I mean.
We can. We actually throw 40-50% of produce in the landfill because it sat too long. That would be lessened if we only had Canadian choices
Have you got any studies or statistics to back that up?
That should be a challenge. It also would drive more investment and production.
But… we can. We have been for decades.
