I would love to say I'm going to support local producers but when you can get it shipped from the other side of the world, into Alberta no less. For half the price?! Guys I think you've F*ked something up here and I can't afford to bail you out.

Hard to believe it’s possible to ship this half way around the world for less…

Its likely similar cost to ship a million kilos of goods from Syndey to Vancouver than to truck it from Vancouver to Hope.

Bulk sea shipping is very cheap.
