That’s a sale of approximately $25M to $40M US. In one shipment. Imagine 1 a day. That is $100M to $150M a week. Imagine what that does for our trade deficit — not to mention tax revenue and jobs. See the a.i. analysis. 👇 figures (e.g., volume and sale price) haven't been…

Many restaurants warn they may be forced to close due to new federal rules that reduce temporary foreign workers’ permits from two years to one and cut the staff cap from 20% to 10%. One operator says he’s losing most of his kitchen team by year-end. But it raises a broader…
