Remove the Potato Ban
Dear Prime Minister Trudeau,
My name is <name>. Ending the ban of PEI Potatoes exports to the United States is critically important.
The ban, put in place by your government, has caused people to lose jobs, farms to lose millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of pounds of good food to go to waste!
We need our Canadian government to stand up for PEI farmers and remove the ban, now!
Canadians are counting on you to do the right thing!
Signed,
Remove the Potato Ban
We Need Canada’s Potatoes
Dear Ambassador Tai,
My name is <name>. A consistent, affordable supply of food to the United States is critically important. We count on potatoes from Prince Edward Island in Canada to feed our families.
In fact, PEI Potatoes feed 9 million Americans every year!
Since Canada stopped shipments of those Canadian potatoes to the United States, the price of potatoes continues to go up.
Can Americans count on you to help restart exports to keep prices lower and store shelves stocked with potatoes?
We are counting on you to resolve this issue.
Signed,
We need Canada’s Potatoes

Over 300 million pounds of potatoes are stranded on PEI.
That’s 25 NHL rinks packed two storeys high.
