The workday at Lola Blooms begins by unpacking the morning delivery: a colorful mix of dahlias, hydrangeas, carnations, roses and more lifted from boxes and spread across the worktables.
The workday at Lola Blooms begins by unpacking the morning delivery: a colorful mix of dahlias, hydrangeas, carnations, roses and more lifted from boxes and spread across the worktables. Until a few weeks ago, there were almost always flowers from the United States in the mix as Lindsay Smith and Kaitlynn Strain grabbed a vase, clippers and got to work crafting floral arrangements. But not anymore. Smith and Strain are sisters in law, business partners and offended Canadians determined to do their part in sending a message to US President Donald Trump. “We’re just trying to buy Canadian as much as we can,” Smith said. Strain chimes in that Holland and Mexico are good options if there is no choice but to import. Some of the vases and other hardware in the shop still come from the states, but Smith and Strain are busy looking for alternatives. “It’s … Donald Trump,” Smith said. “I feel like he’s a bully in this situation. We’re supposed to be allies. We thought we were on a friendship level.”
