This was a display at a local Foodbasics. Andy brand lettuce… product of the USA, and the shelves were empty, so people were buying it.

And why not? Because they see the “shop local, support local” with a maple leaf, and assume that the store has made it easier for them to shop Canadian.

ALWAYS check labels for a country of origin. PRODUCT of the USA is by far the one you need to avoid “at all cost” with MADE in the USA second.

Even American items on sale are not worth buying, because every dollar you send to the States, is a dollar they will use to kill Canada with.

      I’ve done this before i boycotted NoFrills. I’d remove the maple leaf (typically from a store brand product CLEARLY shipped in from the US) and put it next to the price tag for a Canadian product, then flipped the American products upside down.
