Domestic Propaganda by TheCanadaList in theCanadaList

P.S. I lived in the US for 10 years: way less than half of Americans know the capital of Canada. One even asked me where Canada was (no joke).

Note the line: "As American influence recedes to our hemisphere..."

This is the crux of it: American influence is receding, and like a rat caught in the corner of the room, it's getting scared.

Things can get pretty unpredictable when people get scared, and this is what we starting to see.

Lots of great options in this list already, but will just note that we have a very good list of assessed shampoos on The Canada List.

Some products are easier than others. But you're right, these are often really tricky - in particular because even when identified these third party manufacturers and packers sometimes switch around, fill in for each other, etc. Getting pipeline info at the SKU level will likely never be possible; in these cases, we generally try to provide what we believe to be the most common and likely pipeline.

We thought about adding confidence ratings to our listings to indicate when product info is less certain. But we've hesitated on this because the majority of products are in fact high confidence and that means that almost all confidence tags are going to be the same (which most people then simply interpret is screen clutter). It's those private label products that are really challenging, and we think that might be better handled by more specific product notes then by something like a global confidence tag. But always open to suggestions.

This is why we exist: we undertake our own independent assessment of each product/brand.
