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.
