    Remember not to trust the fucking grocery giants, they were public enemy number one before all this horse-hockey with the states, and they continue to be.

    The convenient 🍁 labels are for donkeys who want an easy answer. Five seconds of reading a label tells you what you need to know. It isn’t difficult, and we still know how to read in Canada.

      Chef’s Plate started putting stickers on their boxes saying “Produced in Canada” and below it basically says ‘from international ingredients’.

          This seems a bit extreme, especially given that nothing illegal has happened.

      OK, I’ll start:

      It’s a little thing, but Fresh Co. labels a ton of produce as “Mexico or the US”. That seems a bit shady in my books, so I’ll just assume that means it’s from the US.

        I see the same at NoFrills as well, but if you look at the actual produce stickers instead of the bin labels it will tell you the specific country.

      Remember that these kinds of ads show the boycott is working. Producing and airing ads isnt cheap so it has to be deemed worth it to the company to do it.

      Kraft is worried about losing the Canadian market. This is their response.

      Keep it up.
