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.
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.
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
American corporations are the new american backpackers who used to visit europe.
American corps right now:
Look at how many Canadians Walmart employs! (Is a position I’ve heard several times).
The part nobody understands is that ownership is explicitly about control and profit-taking. Doing business is a two-way street, but in situations like these, there’s an awful lot more traffic going in one direction, and you can use your imagination to figure out which direction that traffic is going. Plantations employed lots of slaves too, gave them housing and food, but it didn’t mean they were generous charities. Yeah that’s an extreme example, but this is the point. An employer that comes here and pays hundreds of thousands of people within spitting distance of minimum wage – literally the bare minimum legally and economically possible, does not make them a good and genuine employer that has Canada or Canadians’ best interests at heart. They just want our money, while giving the least possible back.
Fuck 'em.
i worked for Walmart for years. they are definitely a plantation. Racist as hell, only tall white men get promoted
And then they try to convince us they are doing it ‘for the benefit of Canadians’.
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.
We need to pass some new “truth in advertising” laws.
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?”
The company I work for now says they are Irish.
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.
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.

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!
