I actually looked up the websites of the Canadian groups involved and thanked them for trying to help out and apologizing that our country has given them such a hard time.
Almost immediately I got a reply from one gentleman that was on site and he said they had just gotten a one time exception to pass over the border and that they were leaving as soon as they could for Moore! He sounded thrilled and I was happy to hear the news!
It’s a shame too because Canadian hothouse veggies are top rate quality.
Food is expensive here but is more along the quality of shopping at high end Whole Foods instead of commercial grade Safeway. It’s a lot more international in origin as well with imports from Europe, South America, Middle East and Asia.

I didn’t realize that about the quality of the produce! I’d been in Canada for work a few years ago and didn’t get a chance to stop at a grocery store as my work involved a lot of driving. I was so exhausted every night I just ate whatever was nearby and flopped into bed :-)
I was impressed though with how friendly the people I met were and how beautiful the country is - you chose a nice place to live. Hope your family in OK is all safe and unharmed with the tornados.
