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

@ianrogers Imports should have mandatory country of import right on the front of the package complete with national flag in full colour too to make it very clear where it really came from.

If it just happens to make Canadian boycotts more useful then so be it, oh well what a shame, but freedom of speech and all and transparency too 🙄

@StevenNT @ianrogers I’m ok with stronger ‘label of origin’ laws, I am ok with y’all boycotting us due to Trump’s regime, but labeling gets messy so damn fast. I’m sure you’ve contemplated the challenge for complex systems like cars and computers, but is my frozen pizza US wheat, Italian cheese, Mexican tomatoes, Peruvian peppers, or Spanish cured meat? Who gets the flag for an order of Poutine?
