For me, using Firefox on Linux or Calyxos, a right click/long press on a picture and "copy image link". I don't know what system you're using, so you'll have to ask a search engine for details.

The Lemmy fetching bot has problems with the cbc.ca site.

When linking to CBC, please include a "Thumbnail URL", and in the "Body" add a short quote from the story like the first sentence of the article or similar.

Thanks.

UK Firm on Food Safety Despite US Tariff Pressures in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk
[–] LimpRimble@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Canada had (has?) a similar problem:

The breakdown in negotiations was mostly due to Canada’s insistence on the UK loosening its food safety regulations, according to several people familiar with the matter.

Canada’s agriculture and food processing market is geared toward exporting to the US, where practices such as chemical carcass-washing and hormone-injected beef and pork are commonplace. In the EU, and the UK by virtue of its former membership of the bloc, such practices are banned.

To mitigate the impact of the increases, BC Ferries is offering a 30 per cent discount on saver fares, encouraging passengers to book ahead and travel during off-peak times. This includes early morning, late evening and midday sailings during the week.

Foot passengers can also take advantage of saver fares for $15 when booking in advance on routes between Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island.
