Have you noticed how many AMERICAN owed corporations are now claiming Canadian connections?
McDonalds is claiming Canadian ownership, because their franchises are owned by Canadians.
Lazyboy, which has no manufacturing or assembly n Canada, is claiming a ‘buy Canadian’ slant because the Lazyboy stores in Ontario are licensed to Canadian owners.
Even saw an add where ESSO is claiming Canadian roots, for over half a century.
Next, Walmart will be touting that it has Canadian roots.
American corps right now:
Fun fact: When I initially saw your post I read it as “films”, and thought about how many American movies and tv shows are filmed here.
The first Rambo movie is Canadian. Considering how that series became the epitome of American jingoism I find that funny.
I just don’t care to listen, believe anything any big corpo says…they lie, have no obligation to be truthful ever and will never face consequences. They all suck, all their products are trash and nothing will make me see anything differently.
I only buy for need now. Wants hardly exist anymore. I’ve checked out and it’s saved me loads oas a result.
the rats are fleeing the flooding cargo holds.

Wait, were we thinking the capitalist engine runs on truth?
When your only incentive is profit, everything becomes a means to that end, unless you are somehow held accountable by a check or balance in the system.
American Eagle would claim Canadian roots now if they thought they could get away with it.
Denny’s is now “Denny’s Canada, PROUDLY CANADIAN OWNED AND OPERATED.”
Fuckers.
We need to pass some new “truth in advertising” laws.
American corporations are the new american backpackers who used to visit europe.
The company I work for now says they are Irish.
It’s been going on for years. Tim Hortons, with some of the loudest “Canadian” branding, had been owned by Pepsi (via Restaurant Brands International) for over a decade.
I don’t understand how an actual Canadian chain hadn’t popped up to take them out yet.
Robins Donuts they allowed anyone to buy and had no franchise standards. It’s the only place I’ve ever got mouldy food from and it happened multiple times. Each franchise had wildly different quality with the majority being neglected.
What Canada really needs is for someone (government agency, nonprofit organization, public group) to trade-mark a particularly Canadian symbol, closely regulate its use, and corporations that meet strict Canadian content criteria are allowed to use it. Thus, truly Canadian companies and businesses could be easily identified.
You do you, Boo. If I were you and the Yankees were acting like Dicks, I wouldn’t trust none of that shit. Protect your sovereignty. Protect your culture. Protect your nation.
Get nukes
I got an email from MEC saying they were back to Canadian ownership.
I wonder what accounting trick they used to make themselves seem Canadian?
Maybe you should actually read up on it then.
I’d rather just not shop there anymore and consider my $5 membership a lost cause.
I saw that they were sold to a few very rich Canadians. Still a far ways away from the idea of a co-op.

Or is he more interested in seeing China taking America’s place as a global superpower, spouting a bunch of propagandic garbage?
Well, don’t have to worry about them taking that spot. Trump is pretty much offering it up on a platter at this point!
Your position seems to be blatantly prejudiced and racist against the Chinese. Otherwise, why would my comments in support of China be offensive to you? Are you trying to portray the Chinese as an inferior race?
Every statement I made that you outlined above and insinuated is a ‘lie’ is factual and supported by credible and reliable evidence that I have presented elsewhere.
The truth is, no matter what my ‘position’, China IS going to replace America as the global superpower. Period. It is not propaganda, nor garbage. It is reality. America is self-destructing, self-imploding, and will undoubtedly soon be torn apart by civil war. And what is left of America will be owed by the rest of the world, particularly China. General Electric Appliance Division is, provably, now owned by a Chinese firm and the American formerly General Electric plants are now producing Chinese designed product, all profits going back to China. Foxcon, an Asian conglomerate, will soon be producing Asian tech product in America, using American slave wage labor, cheaper than it can be made in Asia using Asian labor, all profits going back to Asia.
Just because you do not like facing the truth, calling it a ‘lie’ is not going to make it go away.
And the majority of Canadians do not like American MAGA cultists telling us what to believe and not believe. These cultists destroyed America, we are not going to let them destroy Canada with their ‘rah rah America the Great’ propaganda and proselytizing.
Seen those ads on the sides of McDonald’s trucks? The ones where the meat is missing from the sandwich and they say “what things would look like without Canadian ingredients.” My first thought was “wait… shouldn’t there be NOTHING THERE?”
