Loblaws has altered how it displays country of origin information in produce aisles. They state that due to fluctuating factors such as seasonality and availability, customers are directed to check individual product labels, stickers, or case packaging rather than relying on shelf signage.

As well, per the Canadian Food Inspection Agency: there is no federal requirement for grocery stores to identify a product's country of origin on shelf tags or store signs.

I guess the boycott didn't do much damage then. That's the guy who has a yacht named "Bread" after overcharging for bread for several years and then paying a pittance fine when he got caught. That yacht is his way of giving us all the finger, while pissing on our heads from the deck while yelling "Fuck You" to us all.

No, they just don’t give a fuck where it comes from. They only care about the highest profits.

But that's the US and their customers won't buy it. Hence the above.

All the evil shit they do, and people still shop there.
