I hate how deceptive names can be. You just think by default “oh this must be Canadian then”. So much homework to figure out the truth with all these conglomerates
At the very least, this should provide an incentive for Canadian brands to prominently display flags on their packaging. And, the fairly dysfunctional government should at least be able to agree to pass a law forbidding non-Canadian brands from claiming to be Canadian.
With billions at stake, there are bound to be companies that bend the rules and claim to be Canadian because 10% of the product comes from Canada, or something. But, at least it would be a step in the right direction. And hey, if those flags stay on for years after this spat, that’s a good thing too. We should be buying more locally, for environmental reasons if not economic ones.
