Reminder That $3 Ontario Carrots Were Found in Mississippi for 86 Cents, Well Before First Boycott
In a shocking turn of events, a batch of Ontario carrots that sparked a nationwide boycott in Canada has been found in Mississippi, USA, selling for a whopping 86 cents per pound. This development comes as a stark reminder that the controversy surrounding the $3 price tag on these carrots was not just a Canadian issue.
As reported earlier, the Ontario government’s decision to raise the price of carrots to $3 per pound sparked widespread outrage and a massive boycott among Canadian consumers. The move was seen as a blatant attempt to exploit the market and reap profits from the unsuspecting public.
However, it appears that the carrots have made their way across the border, and Americans are now getting a taste of the controversy. A local grocery store in Mississippi reported selling the Ontario carrots for 86 cents per pound, a price significantly lower than the original $3 price tag.
This development raises questions about the true extent of the boycott and whether it was effective in achieving its intended goal. It also highlights the global nature of the food supply chain and the ease with which products can be transported across borders.

In light of the recent post regarding Canadian pork belly being sold for far cheaper in Japan than Canada itself, I thought it would be important to remind everyone that we also spotted carrots from Bradford, Ontario sold in Mississippi for 86¢. This was in November of 2023.
