Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

these labels are getting ridiculous lol
what’s next, sold in canada? consumed in canada?
Inspired by Canada
"we thought about canada while making this"
I saw a "distributed in canada" one :(
Just a red maple leaf with no other explanation.
F L A V O R
Can't even hire a Canadian to check the print copy
There needs to be tighter regulation, in order to feature that Maple Leaf on the packaging at all it should have to be made 51% in Canada in my opinion.
Those are made in Canada, with Canadian potatoes, but all the money is going to the US, which is what really matters.

No U in the word favourite? That's a no from me dawg.
It's missing in "flavour" too, actually.
They had one job! It was a job of bullshit and lies but still!
you'd think they'd at least pretend to spell words correctly.
lmao thanks for pointing that out, that's hilarious
This is in a US store? There’s no French on the bag.
There's no Canadian English either. American English is the only language I see on this bag.

It is.
But I tell you, I was excited to see the maple leaf and was ready to buy it until I looked closer.
It’s not just Canadians avoiding American made products. I make it a point to buy foreign.
All dressed is somewhat common in Canada, but it's not really a thing in the US. That's probably the reason for the label.

I mean the idea is "canadians love this, maybe you should too, americans"
This sortmof shit should, MUST, be illegal. Hell, make it criminally illegal as it's fraud. Jail a few CEO's over this bullshit and see what happens
That's what I've been saying for years! I've been told my whole life that a CEO is at the top of the company, and thus is responsible for the whole company. That's why they deserve to earn 1000x more than their workers. But they aren't actually responsible for shit. No CEO gets convicted if their product kills someone. Even if it turns out they stole millions from their workers, there are absolutely 0 fucking consequenses. CEO's don't have any responsibilty. They get their money, and if they shit the bed just enough, they'll be fired, and then hired by the competition instead.
Want any fucking change in this world? Start charging CEOs with the crimes of the company. The product killed someone? Charge them with first degree murder. I bet every single company will start to follow the laws real fucking quick.

Ah, good ol maple washing.
Why isnt some smart Canadian politician using this? Seems like an easy issue. Easy to dress up in patriotism even. The "no stealing Canadian valor" act or something like. Be a good vote getter as well as good policy.
Switzerland has a law like this restricting the use of Swiss symbols to only products made entirely in Switzerland. That's why Toblerone had to change their Matterhorn logo.
australia does similar, but for all country of origin claims… the key phrasing is “representations to consumers” and “false or misleading”… ie you don’t have to specifically say “made in”
this would for sure be counted as a misleading representation, and this specific packaging would likely be illegal to sell in australia because it misleadingly represents that the products is somehow from/made in canada
Where's the lie though, eh
If you got a problem with all dressed chips, you got a problem with me and I suggest you let that one marinate.

I was in Canada recently. Ketchup chips? No thanks. All-dressed were pretty good though.
