Be vigilant when purchasing eggs. It might be graded in Canada but could be imported from the US. Check that they are product of Canada

Regulatory capture, a media ecosystem that manufactures public consent to prevent gainful reforms, and maplewashing of pro-pollution lobbying effects as Canadian patriotism at the expense and suffering of today's (and the future) working class.
I have many answers to this. One of them is that the version of pro-pollution lobbying that replaced outright climate denial - which is basically that we can’t stop climate change on our own, so there’s no point worrying about it domestically at all - has triumphed, for now at least.
What the heck is happening in Canada?
Canada’s electricity production today is “less green than it was just five years ago”.

Haven't bought any American products since Nov 2024. Sadly, that hasn't led #Sobeys, #Loblaw, the #PattisonGroup or other vendors from loading grocery aisles & produce sections with Product/Produce of the USA. Plus there's rampant #MapleWashing. It's grocers, not consumers who lack patriotism.

Carney has mastered manufacturing consent with a good maplewashing. “They’re not selling it off, the government will retain ownership of the underlying assets!” You guys are hearing yourselves, right?

American beef labelled as Canadian beef at Costco share.google/5ZDrMLrds7UW...
Getting really tired of the #MapleWashing in Canadian grocery stores.
Costco is an American company so we kind of expect deception, but many Canadian grocers are guilty as well.
Some definitive legislation is in order.

Randy Thompson of Gravenhurst, Ont., stopped at a Costco in Orillia this week to pick up some Canadian beef. Instead, he unintentionally bought beef from the United States.

Maplewashing should be punishable by 1 million per case. Loblaws is the worst offender but definitely not the only one.
It needs to cost them to make them stop. If it’s a slap on the wrist it’s just the cost of business.

Mail your MP. It's time to make the penalty real enough that they won't risk "Maplewashing".
Currently the maximum fine from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is $15,000.00.
That is not a deterrent, it's a business model.

I moved to Canada after two decades in the US last year and nearly the first thing I noticed was how united the country was — not anti-American, just determined in its sovereignty. Canadian flags everywhere. Last year’s word of the year was ‘maplewashing.’ No US liquor on the shelves anywhere.

For example, Carney made a big deal about standing up for the auto sector and the French language, but was conspicuously silent on "digital trade alignment." Ditto on the F-35s and Golden Dome. And questions remain about maplewashing US tech companies.
