    Tariff Item No. 1205.10.00

    Rape from the US is now being taxed. I guess I’ll just stick with Canadian rape, keep it local.

      One of the worse named plants of all time, thanks Latin.

      And that’s why we renamed it “Canada oil” aka Canola

        Well, part of the reason. “Canola” is really only the edible variant, which is now a bit more than fifty years old. Older cultivars contained large amounts of erucic acid, which apparently is neither tasty nor very good for you.

        I don’t know whether anyone still grows the non-canola rapeseed cultivars as a cash crop.

        Thanks, I could not understand what they were talking about 😂

        spoiler

        I thought this was about Loblaws “raping” their consumer’s wallets rather than getting it “raped” by Amazon or something.
