In response to tariff threats, stores here are putting #BuyCanadian maple leaf stickers on the shelves to mark made-in-Canada products -- although some of them might not actually be Canadian: cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia…
Fave example of maple-washing is Campbells adding "designed in Canada" badges to their soup cans. The soup's made in the US, the badge just refers to the label design. i.redd.it/6axcr2sf9dme1.png
yeah, they're stressed out that Tim Hortons, even after being resold repeatedly still has a better claim on being Canadian, let alone A&W Canada, which is actually fully Canadian-owned. The franchisees will revolt if corporate doesn't stem the bleeding.
@how now It’s that circle with the leaf confusing store employees. That’s my guess. It’s trickery. If i see that “symbol” I look for the “imported by” or “prepared for” bc it’s certainly not “made in canada” or “product of canada”
Best bet.. don’t shop at those stores if you can find alternatives. Look at local farmers and see if any have online shops they sell through. Typically those will sell from other 100% canadian farmers and companies.. like www.indiefood.ca
