Happy Friday, Langley friends!

It seems like one minute we were minding our own business, and the next, we’ve landed in the middle of an unexpected and unprovoked trade war with our neighbors to the south.

Just as we were gearing up for the sweet promise of spring, we now have another thing to think about—where our dollars are going.

Meanwhile, the political landscape is heating up faster than a March chinook, with a federal election likely on the very near horizon. So, while we keep an eye on international tensions and local campaign trails, let’s not forget to enjoy the little things—like a good pint, live music, or a community event right here at home.

Thankfully, there’s no shortage of ways to spend your weekend supporting local businesses and artists. Whether you're soaking up the sounds of homegrown talent, brushing up on your tech skills, or catching some Vancouver Giants hockey action, there’s something for everyone.

And if you're looking for a way to flex your patriotism beyond the ballot box, why not start with your wallet? Skip the American imports and show some love to Canadian businesses instead.

Elbows up!
