If you've been thinking about snagging some goodies from my Etsy shop for the holidays, I’ve got the best sale of the year running now, with 30% off everything until Monday.

Christmas delivery order cutoffs: U.S. Dec. 5th, Canada Dec. 10th.

I 3D print and build all kinds of cool fidget toys. I also offer a range of figures, decor, and storage containers.

I can’t help but feel disheartened seeing this on my Etsy dashboard:

I’m down 50% in sales from last month. It’s because of tariffs/trade war forcing me to turn off all shipping to the U.S. - I’m not alone in this, it’s affecting thousands of Canadian businesses. 🇨🇦

I worked so hard over the last year to turn my shop into a success. I have 280+ 5-star reviews, and have sold over 1.1k items. I was on track to be able to independently support myself. As a disabled person, this hits even harder. It’s incredibly difficult to support ourselves in this economy.

I’m honestly heartbroken.

Good Morning #Canada
According to #StatCan Blueberries are Canada's top selling fruit. We produce more kilos of other fruits but in terms of revenue the little antioxidant powerhouse remains the leader. We are net exporters annually, rivaling cranberries for top berry shipments to other countries. B.C., Ontario and Quebec account for the majority of Canada’s Blueberry production.

"Driscoll’s berries are on many Canadians’ plates and all over Canadian grocery stores, with their tagline claiming to be “only the finest berries.”

But a whistleblower lawsuit in California alleges the finest berries were not sent to Canada: instead, millions of pounds of fruit containing non-compliant levels of pesticides and chemicals crossed the border, and the company tried to cover it up.

California resident and former Driscoll’s employee David Harada claims in the lawsuit that by Driscoll’s own estimates, about 50 per cent of all shipments to Canada from 2022 to 2024 had fruit that exceeded Canadian safety levels."
