> Vermeer further outlined the corporate strategy: “One trick we use is to put out a decoy box of strawberries with a big ‘Made In USA’ sign, which gets all of the customers riled up and angry to shop harder for Canadian products. Then, after a week, we take the rotten strawberries off the shelf, mush them into paste and combine them with local wood pulp, and sell it as ‘Canadian-made PC Brand strawberry jam’, which technically isn’t even lying.”

I keep seeing “product of Mexico or USA”. Wtf even is that? I just assume its from the States and don’t buy it

Truthfully, right now I just want to identify what is made in USA vs elsewhere (Canada + not USA). I don’t mind buying some Euro or other products.
