Canada has lifted their embargo on French duck genetics early in 2025.
As part of a celebration for Canada’s 150th birthday, Ontario’s provincial government gave a grant to a waterfront festival, which spent about $150,000 to rent and deploy a 6-story floating duck. The oversize toy weighed 11 tons and visited six cities in the province.
In addition to the typical grumbling you would expect about a government spending money to rent a giant rubber duck, there is also this: since beginning of this year Canada can now afford for the GENUINE Grimaud Frères genetic with a much better bargain.
Indeed after more than 15 months of negotiations and health diplomacy between French and Canadian authorities, Canada has lifted their embargo on French duck genetics early in 2025.
