**Antigonish, N.S.** — Tareq Hadhad, founder of the Antigonish-based business Peace by Chocolate, has publicly expressed opposition to a recent decision to rename a body of water in Ontario.
The controversy centers on the renaming of a lake in Ontario, which Hadhad criticized in a recent statement titled “Peace does not mean silence.”
In his commentary, Hadhad addressed the current state of Canada-U.S. relations, noting that many individuals are seeking ways to voice their frustrations regarding geopolitical tensions. He suggested that these sentiments have led some Canadians to alter their consumer habits, such as avoiding American-made products or reconsidering travel plans to the United States.
Hadhad’s remarks emphasize his perspective that maintaining a commitment to peace does not require remaining silent on issues of public concern.
