Charge them with some form of fraud of even a light form of treason. Selling foriegn goods under the guise they are Canadian is unfair to true Canadian products and fucking disgusting from a national pride perspective.

I've been saying for years that I'd vote for some random guy that ran on throttling and holding accountable grocery chains and telecoms. Nearly a decade ago I had a friend in Thailand with a full cell phone plan with unlimited data ect. for $8/month, why is it so insanely expensive here?!
Canada has poor competition and oligarchy controls
Plus we don't want apartment buildings and prefer suburbs the size of cities with sprawling parking lots so that you need way more infrastructure to serve the same number of people
Yea that balloons municipal budgets to the point they nearly need to run a growth ponzi scheme where they need new suburban developments to pay for the maintenance of existing suburban developments, all well neglecting existing transit and density and making new density nearly illegal to build.
We supplement rural infrastructure, Canada has a lot more than Thailand
That's the telecom's talking point. It's true to some extent, but why do Bell and Rogers keep making record profits every year?
Because they don’t actually invest the money, just pocket it
Was it Bell or Rogers who recently had a rural grant that decided to invest that money in the US instead?
Their goal is profit.
If we wanted a non-profit we could lightly steer as a populace to ensure it's modern and safe while remaining its most affordable, we would have brought it in as an arms-length crown corp.
We still can, if we wanted that, but we have to understand the realization of delayed or skipped maintenance on infrastructure and the huge costs we have to support to bring it back into line publicly if we do. The gov can't half-ass anything without blowback.
Because there are not enough crowns who do not have to answer to investors in the same way as say Sasktel does.
People will eat it up unfortunately. I still see the Loblaws parking lot full of cars.
I've been seeing this quite a bit. And there's no excuse.
It takes nothing to have your stock person check the label of the food they are putting out, and making sure it matches with the label the store has for that food. If it's wrong, reprint the label!
They have all the time in the world to put maple leafs on everything, but can't bother to be accurate?
I saw one store with yellow Canadian flags on stuff. Looked like they were signalling foreign product but Non USA. Deceptive, but still helpful once you realize the difference between the red leaves and the yellow ones
