Dear editor:

I was most interested by Dan Smeenk’s article: “One year later, ‘buy Canadian’ sentiment remains strong” (The Lake Report, March 5 issue).

A year ago, when we all began to concentrate on “buying Canadian,” I contacted President’s Choice, asking them where the fruit for their orange juice came from, hoping they might say Mexico or Spain.

In their reply, they carefully avoided answering my question. They said, “The juice is all processed in Canada.”

That was not what I asked; I’d asked where it came from.

By their evasive answer, they did, of course, tell me the truth: it must be from California or Florida.

Now, I can’t bring myself to cease a lifelong habit of orange juice at breakfast time.

But, I did have a solution: I now have half a glass instead of a full one.

I have cut my consumption by 50 per cent.

Surely, every bit helps.
