Heaven forbid that the big Canadian grocery chains are penalized for lying to Canadians...... @mark-carney.bsky.social @liberalca.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Read the labels, not the store signs. If labels states "various proveniences", rest assured that some is from US. Packaged in Canada is also dubious. #BoycottUSA

Ya, I saw it again recently: Bartlett pears advertised in No Frills' flyer for $1.99 as 'Product of Western Provinces' but the stickers read USA. The price sign said they were from Argentina. I mentioned it to someone stocking the produce and he said he'd alert the manager. I'll check on it today.

Don't rely on the shelf labels, always look at the actual product labels. Look for 'Product of Canada' foremost, since both the ingredients and the final packaged product come from Canada. 'Made in Canada' means the final product is packaged here, but the ingredients could be from other countries.

I look at every thing that goes in my cart, I have done that for years before this boycott even began. Especially when I have shopped for groceries at any Loblaws company they I find are the biggest culprits of this in my view fraud.

False advertising, I don’t know why this wouldn’t be addressed at the federal level considering we are all trying to get behind buying Canadian. And lying about the product origin is deceptive at best. I have switched my shopping from stores who are either careless or just lying to push US goods.

Okay, this is pretty infuriating. Not only did they neglect to impose the appropriate fine but that fine is 15k per incident. Sobeys can absolutely laugh off a 15K fine and put it down as the cost of doing biz and they still didnt get fined. #nojustice.

That's why I always read the sticker on the fruit. A couple of times I've had the reverse experience, where the sign said product of USA but the apple said Canada, but not most of the time.

They get paid from suppliers to face their products, so it's pretty much all about money. Greedy unpatriotic pricks. They should be penalized for deceiving their shoppers, then maybe they'll realize the practice has become too costly when it starts to affect their share values.

We need to step it up on a few fronts. Shut down magat media. Stop letting grocers lie. Go after Dani. She wants feds money, tighten the rules. While I'm on a rant, mainstream media needs to do a better job explaining tarriffs. Counter tariffs hurt us, they are stupid. 70+ % don't understand that.

My oldest daughter got me to download the Shop Canadian app, and when I'm not sure about a product, I scan the bar code to see where it comes from. If it says "This product is not Canadian", I check the location of the company, and if it's somewhere in the US, I put it back on the shelf.

While we wait for the Food Inspection Agency to wake up, it's up to us to be vigilant and check all labels, and not trust the signs in the stores. They're just looking to move US products they're stuck with. I use an app called Maple Scan that helps a lot.
