Not seeing local apples in B.C. stores? Here's why (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You’re in the produce aisle, you want to buy Canadian, and every apple in the bin is from Washington state. In a province famous for its apples, where are the local apples? Part of the answer is just the calendar. B.C.’s apple harvest is only beginning: last year’s crop sold out months ago, and this year’s crop is still a couple of weeks away from store shelves. The deeper problem is that B.C.’s apple industry has been shrinking for two decades, squeezed by Washington state’s scale, the loss of
What Canada's counter-tariffs mean for Vancouver shoppers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Vancouver shoppers will pay more for some American goods — or watch them vanish from shelves — when Canada’s new counter-tariffs take effect Sept. 8.

Five people he knows have lost their homes to the Bald Range wildfire. “It was almost a melancholy feeling,” he said, describing his return to Summerland. Start your day wi
Their busiest month, gone: Summerland's restaurants and cafés count the cost of a lost season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
PENTICTON — The first sign of trouble for Aviana Ferlizza, the manager of Zias family restaurant in Summerland, was a phone call to cancel a reservation. It was around 5:45 p.m. on the Friday the Bald Range wildfire broke out, and a customer from Faulder was calling to say they wouldn’t make it — there was a plume of smoke out their way. Ferlizza checked online and thought it looked small. Then she walked to the front of the restaurant and looked up. “I was like, ‘Oh, shit, we’re in big trouble
