Support Canadian wool production!

Wool* has just been slapped with an additional 50% tariff going to the USA. It seems to me to be the final nail in the coffin for the idea that exporting all our wool is the best plan (and the best return) for Canadian farmers.

This is the moment to truly reckon with how we’ve handled our national wool clip for the past 30 years and to come up with something better.

Let’s reinvest in our domestic wool processing infrastructure - building jobs and investing in rural economies.

Let’s get innovative and creative with the products we can actually make with Canadian wool to take full advantage of all the benefits of this incredible material that is a renewable resource.

And let’s work with farmers, manufacturers and designers to remind government that Canadian wool is more than just a by-product or some forgotten agricultural commodity.

The first step is to find and support the local Canadian wool already transformed and sold in your own community. (Check out Canadian Wool for the most comprehensive list)

Support those that are already doing the work - and then speak to your MLA, MP your agricultural extension agent and tell them that Canadian wool is important!

*not all forms of wool have been added to the new tariff list. Check my website for a more comprehensive look at this.
