Ashley Chapman, chief operating officer at Ontario-headquartered Chapman’s Ice Cream, said in a statement circulating on social media that the family decided to take that measure for the rest of the year to maintain their prices.
Chapman said they wanted to do their part to support Canadians as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to threaten economic annexation, which Chapman called the “greatest threat to our sovereignty” since the Second World War.

Virtually all ice cream sold in Canada is made in Canada because of the Milk Marketing Board. The same goes for virtually all dairy products.
Fair, didn’t think of that. Should we care where the headquarters is?
This IS the question.
Do we buy Heinz ketchup now, because they now produce almost all of it sold in Canada in Quebec now? There’s the additional factor that they were all too willing to screw over the people in Leamington back in 2014, but the question remains the same: Where’s the most good for Canadians?
Personally, I still buy French’s ketchup.
Heinz should be boycotted regardless of their country of origin because of how shitt y a many they are.
For what it’s worth, Chapman’s is a Canadian owned brand, meaning that the profits stay in Canada. I’ve also heard from several folks online that they do good in their community and do right by their employees. No experience myself though.
