Agreed. Now, is the flour I’m buying that says “Product of Canada” actually a product of Canada?? I’m finding that “Product of Canada” doesn’t actually mean Canada is getting the profits…
Agreed. But when a package says: Product of Canada, and then I find out the profits are actually going to the USA?? WTF?
Thank you to all for the education. So, “Product of Canada”, might be owned by Americans? How can Canadians tell the difference??
Ok then. Just did some research. WTF?? So, Product of Canada does NOT mean what we think. I think we need new guidelines: Product of Canada needs to mean: Canadian Company. And, thank you to all for the education! Most appreciated!
Yes! Yikes, I stand corrected. All but Pearl Milling said Product of USA. Thank you for the correction!
This picture was taken in “No Frills” today. The only box that said Product of Canada was Pearl Milling. All the other brands said Product of USA.
I was in “No Frills” today. All but Pearl Milling said Product of Canada. One of them said “Packaged in Canada”, but still said, “Product of USA”.

On Guard For Thee@lemmy.ca•Art Of The Deal author fails to secure deal with friendliest nation on planet
0·6 days agoWe’re more than a nation known for maple syrup and neighbourly friendliness. We’re compassionate: A relatively small town in Gander, Newfoundland, fed, housed, and emotionally supported Americans during the 911 crisis. The “Canadian Caper” was another time we aided the U.S. (there’s a movie about that). We have supported the United States for years in bogus wars at the expense of our young Canadian people. And now, the U.S. blasts us with tariffs? Thank you, Mark Carney, for saying enough is enough!

0·7 days agoAs a Canadian, I completely understand that. And I 100% sympathize with the American population that does not support him. However, in a country where a “leader” who is “democratically” elected becomes the figurehead of that country, it becomes very difficult to separate “him” from the American population. In the world’s eyes, “him” is the U.S.A. So, when we see “him” wanting to make Canada the 51st state, “him” thinking he is entitled to Greenland, “him” trying to cripple Cuba, “him” deciding Americans should be in charge of the Strait of Hormuz, it’s kinda’ hard to look at the US and say, “yah, but that’s not the American people, that’s just “him”… Unfortunately for you, He IS the American people. You have my sympathies.

0·27 days agoWhile I agree with you, it’s still a moot point as far as I’m concerned. “Indians” are from “India”. It’s long past the time that anyone should be calling Indigenous people “Indians”. Either Findlay is being purposely disrespectful, or completely ignorant.

I can’t speak for all Canadians, but I can speak for myself. I WILL spend more if I know the product is from Canada.
