Food and beverage manufacturing sales hit $88.1B in the first half of 2026, but real sales were flat. With trade restrictions, counter-tariffs and freight costs squeezing margins, tearing down interprovincial trade barriers can't wait. via @FCCagriculture newswire.ca/news-releases/tr…

There are no winners in a Canada-U.S. trade war. More Americans are starting to say so. Canada should defend its interests firmly, but the goal is a stable trading relationship, not escalation. New piece from FHCP CEO @MGraydon_FHCP linkedin.com/pulse/america-s…

Canada's response to U.S. tariffs is targeted and disciplined. By keeping the vast majority of grocery and essential consumer products off the list, the government has avoided adding to food costs at a time when affordability matters most to Canadians. #cdnpoli

Canada/U.S. trade negotiations have been suspended and an additional 50 per cent tariff on approximately $28 billion CAD in Canadian goods is now in effect. FHCP urges a return to negotiations, and that food, health, and consumer product inputs remain off any Canadian countermeasure list.

Ahead of Aug 19, FHCP is urging de-escalation and a durable framework that restores duty-free trade under CUSMA. Retaliatory tariffs on everyday essentials would raise costs for Canadian businesses and families without resolving the dispute. #cdnpoli fhcp.ca/en/News/fhcp-stateme…

Good hygiene is practical prevention. Handwashing, oral care, respiratory etiquette, and safe food handling can help protect our own health and the health of those around us. ow.ly/zpjJ50ZkQlq #SelfCareIsPrevention #ValueofSelfCare @selfcarefed_org

Healthy eating is an important pillar of self-care. Reading labels, planning meals, and choosing foods that support well-being can help people make informed decisions for themselves and their families. ow.ly/t2Z450ZkQ3l #SelfCareIsPrevention #ValueofSelfCare @selfcarefed_org

Movement is preventive self-care. Physical activity supports physical and mental well-being, helps manage risk factors and contributes to better quality of life over time. Small, consistent choices can make a difference. ow.ly/urUs50ZkPYx #SelfCareIsPrevention #ValueofSelfCare @selfcarefed_org

Self-care includes self-awareness. Recognizing changes in stress, sleep, mood or physical symptoms can help people take action earlier and seek support when needed. Prevention starts with noticing what is changing. ow.ly/zxm850ZkPU9 #SelfCareIsPrevention #ValueofSelfCare @selfcarefed_org

Food manufacturing is essential national infrastructure. Today, FHCP President & CEO @MGraydon_FHCP brought that message to the House of Commons Agriculture Committee, emphasizing that food security depends not only on what Canada grows, but on our ability to process, package and supply the products Canadians rely on every day. Strengthening domestic manufacturing means greater resilience, affordability and food sovereignty. #cdnpoli #FoodSecurity
