  "account": "On a typical summer day at Schwartz’s Deli in Montreal, the iconic smoked-meat sandwich is a must-try for tourists and locals alike. The deli, which has been serving up smoked-meat sandwiches for decades, recently made an update to its menu. While Cott’s Black Cherry Soda, a local brand enjoyed by customers, was discontinued due to U.S. tariffs and a shift in production, Schwartz’s Deli has turned to a local alternative, Fleischer’s Original Black Cherry Soda. This change reflects a growing trend of businesses embracing a Buy Canadian approach amidst trade tensions. Customers appreciate the local quality and support for Canadian businesses, noting the refreshing taste and Canadian pride.",
