    Have you noticed how many AMERICAN owed corporations are now claiming Canadian connections?

    McDonalds is claiming Canadian ownership, because their franchises are owned by Canadians.

    Lazyboy, which has no manufacturing or assembly n Canada, is claiming a 'buy Canadian' slant because the Lazyboy stores in Ontario are licensed to Canadian owners.

    Even saw an add where ESSO is claiming Canadian roots, for over half a century.

    Next, Walmart will be touting that it has Canadian roots.

      Fun fact: When I initially saw your post I read it as "films", and thought about how many American movies and tv shows are filmed here.

          The first Rambo movie is Canadian. Considering how that series became the epitome of American jingoism I find that funny.

              You do you, Boo. If I were you and the Yankees were acting like Dicks, I wouldn't trust none of that shit. Protect your sovereignty. Protect your culture. Protect your nation.

                I got an email from MEC saying they were back to Canadian ownership.

                I wonder what accounting trick they used to make themselves seem Canadian?

                    I'd rather just not shop there anymore and consider my $5 membership a lost cause.

                        I saw that they were sold to a few very rich Canadians. Still a far ways away from the idea of a co-op.
