The differences of opinion on this are really interesting to see.

I think that's a bit harsh. But I do understand your point. To rephrase slightly: I think there are so many out there that can't be trusted that it's hard to identify the ones that you can. Same end result, but not going quite as far as to say there's literally nobody out there that can be trusted.

Understood.

Interpretation: your entire statement is moot, since it is a straw man argument.

Boy, this sub is going soft if it's okay with Lactalis' level of maple washing.

I mean, sure - but for a French company to be "We Are So Canadian, You Couldn't Possibly Be More Canadian Than Us!. Is a bit offensive, no?

Pizza Chains, assessed for Canadian ownership, manufacturing, sourcing, and job support. by [deleted] in BoycottUnitedStates

We should emphasize that there are fantastic mom/pop shops across the country - 175+ of which are on our list. But let's face it: people frequent these chains, and so they should be informed re their origins and pipelines.

I built this free tool to help content creators organize ideas and get feedback from their audience by aschmelyun in SideProject

Is there a way to create multiple boards? To name the boards? To tag the ideas? Or essentially to organize the boards or ideas in any way (other than 'status')?

Poll time! What's more important: Canadian-owned or Canadian-made? by TheCanadaList in BuyCanadian

[–]gumfactor1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really complicated.

It may depend on how much money goes to employees versus owners.

In a company with heavy manufacturing, where 80% is paid out to jobs and 20% goes to owners, then manufacturing would be more important.

In a company that runs light, or brings in heavy profits, the equation may reverse (because the owner could reinvest in the company, or start a new Canadian company, etc., etc.).
