In response to the question of a journalist concerning the economic situation with the United States, Ford has prevailed.
“What bothers me very much recently, and I’m going to talk to the big retailers … If necessary, I will put a Canada flag on all the products that are really from here and I will legislate until the consumer realizes that you throw him powder in the eyes,” he said.
“When I still see Campbell’s soup rods with a Canada flag on it, when it is not made here, deceiving people … They make it in Camden, New Jersey, and then they write” Canada Recipe “… Do you really think that Ontarians are so stupid?” he continued, visibly angry.
“I’m going to take one of these rods, I’m going to tear the Canada tights on it and encourage the soups that are made in Ontario and Canada. Perhaps what you should do, instead of trying to deceive people is to bring your factories here, the ones you closed by putting hundreds of people to the door.
“It means me to see devious companies do things like that …” he concluded, before giving the floor to his Minister of Finance.
Recall that Campbell’s is the most recent company guilty of maple-washingthe giant giant strategy to enrich their chests by sticking maple leaves on foreign products.
The indignation of an Ontario made the buzz On LinkedIn this week, after he discovered the mention “designed in Canada” on a preserver of Chunky soup.
