I'm just learning this now. So Product of Canada means nothing??

[โ€“] OldCrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

We need new labels: Who is profiting from this product???

[โ€“] OldCrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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...

[โ€“] OldCrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Agreed. But when a package says: Product of Canada, and then I find out the profits are actually going to the USA?? WTF?

[โ€“] OldCrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, I don't think that's it. There was a "packaged in Canada", but another "Product of USA" on the same package.

Thank you to all for the education. So, "Product of Canada", might be owned by Americans? How can Canadians tell the difference??

[โ€“] OldCrow@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago (8 children)

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!

[โ€“] OldCrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Yes! Yikes, I stand corrected. All but Pearl Milling said Product of USA. Thank you for the correction!

[โ€“] OldCrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (21 children)

Then please educate me. If it says, "Product of Canada", is it not necessarily a product of Canada??

 

Pearl Milling is a Product of Canada. The others are Product of USA. I've been using Pearl since the first wave of tariffs (it's just as good). I have returned to turning Product of USA products upside down.
