Chapman’s, the country's only national, Canadian-owned ice cream brand, says consumers will not be paying higher prices for ice cream this season, even though the trade war with the U.S. will increase their operating costs. The company says it will need to move on from U.S. suppliers, some of whom they’ve had decades-long relationships with, and find new international contracts for various materials for their ice cream.

Kawartha Dairy in Ontario is good

In Ottawa we have lots of great places. Mu shu and Merry Dairy are great.

Stella Luna was my favourite until the owner went off the rails. That one really hurt.

Mu shu also has a current run of Uniqlo T-shirts with their logo! I thought that was cool to see.

Mu shu is great. The owner is great. Their ice cream is great. Fuck Stella Luna and their convoy bullshit.

I don’t care for ice cream at this time of the year, but comes the warm weather Chapman can count on me.

Ice cream is a pretty simple product. I'm curious what they get from US suppliers. I would imagine it's mostly inclusions or mix-ins.

Nuts, pecans, cherries, and then some other ingredients like food stabilizers.

Could be sugar. The US loves to turn corn into various forms of sugar.

Well I prefer other products but I'll be buying some this summer.

I have been supportive of Chapman's since they were giving permanent raises during CoVID when other firms were laying people off.

That's a mistake. Canadians need to feel the pain so that they'll stay motivated to support fighting back. This is noble, but misguided.

We're already feeling the threat of becoming a US state every day. No tariff can top that.
