Concerns about shelf labels claiming items are 'Canadian' while products are American; phrases: "shelf label SAYING Canadian", "product is actually American", "Can't trust the shelf labels"; recommendations in posts: "read up on who owns what", "look at the label of everything before we buy it", and actions like trying to "buy as much Canadian stuff"; mentions of McDonalds' Maple Leaf on the arches.

I absolutely loved that McDonalds had a Maple Leaf on the arches. But yeah with all of the international multi conglomerates, it’s really hard to tell. When we visit we try to buy as much Canadian stuff, and eat at Canadian chains as possible to show our support.
I don't think so, but there have been MANY instances of the shelf label SAYING Canadian when the product is actually American. So we need to read up on who owns what, and look at the label of everything before we buy it. Can't trust the shelf labels or front packaging to make things quick or easy.
