I had these same questions when I started seeing these tags as well. If we’re going to tag Canadian products, at the very least all Canadian products should get tagged. Considering how a lot of stores are turning to digital shelf tags it shouldn’t take a whole lot of effort to put a little digital maple leaf on each item.
the tags are just them trying to sell product, nothing more and nothing less. I treat them like I do highlighted sale flags: sometimes I will take a look and see if it’s worth noting, but when the product has dropped from 13.99 to 13.89 I’m not exactly gonna dance a jig just because they printed a yellow flag saying “on sale”. Same thing: just because they plastered a maple leaf on it doesn’t mean it goes straight in the basket.
If I catch my store labelling american stuff as canadian though, I’ll probably be doing some creative sticker removals at least.
