Ya Ive been noticing quite a bit of #Maplewashing these past few days.
I guess it was inevitable. Thanks for pointing out this one.

Let the shaming begin - they asked for it by lying to #Canadians

Campbell's Soup is #fakeCanadian

I'm going to start calling this mapleturfing. Fuck US goods pretending to be Canadian.

Campbells' soup sold in Canada now has a maple leaf on the label. Their website has had a maple leaf next to their logo since October 2023.

Screenshot of "prepared in Canada" label here:

Campbell's has not had Canadian manufacturing since 2018 when they shut down their last Canadian plant.

Attached: 1 image Worth noting there are a few version of Campbell's soup can packaging out there so I took a screenshot of this one for sale on amazon.ca (there's a double whammy for you). Note that the address on this Campbell's soup can is just a last-mile distribution facility. There has been no production at this location since 2018. It is not, in fact. "prepared in Canada". #maplewashing #mapleturfing #BuyCanadian #Canada

I was waiting for companies to try and cash in on the #BuyCanadian idea. #Campbell's is now on the #FakeCanadian list.

How do you pronounce “hockey”? US players say it with “fake Canadian” accent.

They don't want to sound Canadian, but like a hockey player—a "linguistic persona."
