To show support for Canada amid a trade war with the U.S., John Mackay says he tries to only buy Canadian products during grocery runs.
That’s why the 81-year-old from Tillsonburg, Ont., said he’s complained to Metro multiple times after seeing orange juice with pulp by Irrésistible — a Metro-owned private-label brand — with a red maple leaf next to the price tag on the shelf.
“Since when are we growing oranges in Canada?” said Mackay, whose home is roughly 115 kilometres west of Hamilton. “I was pissed off.”
Loblaws is labeling frozen Minute Maid orange juice with a lil maple leaf. I have a really hard time believing anything other than the aluminum lids are Canadian.
Being “Made in Canada” is vastly different than being ‘packaged in Canada’.
SOBs just wanna pull the wool over our eyes and the gov’t doesn’t seem to be doing aything about it.
