Same shit in Canada, with places like McDonaldโ€™s having signs that say โ€œCanadian owned and operated!โ€ Yeah fuck off McDonaldโ€™s

But they have local beef, local potatoes, local millionaires owning the restaurants, so it's totally not American. Even the workers are locals!

The Lays chips I was getting in Alberta were American-made before the shit started, they're Canadian made now

McDonald's Canada is a separate entity, so despite still being a shitty company it's a shitty Canadian company
