On the surface it's very confusing to a lot of people - we are the second largest country in the world (geographically) and eating Nationally vs Locally is an issue a lot of people struggle with. If you believe National is local, it's fair game. If you don't, then it's challenging to accept. We will run more on it as it evolves - the video is stunning and I cheer them for it!

This year it is for grocery gift cards.. http://fabulouscanadianfreebies.com/?p=106 In the spring if you lived in select larger centers you could enter to win a space in a community garden, which is definitely a more 'local' prize. At one point a year or so ago they also sponsored a freebie where you could order a free set of Hellman's gardening gloves and seeds (They sent carrot seeds and I think sunflowers?). I am glad we are discussing this. Overall so far I see it a positive, and it deserves more attention. They have also been sponsoring ‘eat local’ contests in Canada.
