    There needs to be tighter regulation, in order to feature that Maple Leaf on the packaging at all it should have to be made 51% in Canada in my opinion.

      Those are made in Canada, with Canadian potatoes, but all the money is going to the US, which is what really matters.

      What about maple syrup? American made syrup has every right to the leaf, to represent the tree of origin.

      You geese did not invent the maple tree.

        Maple leaf imagery can be created without using the Canadian flag, which is a distinct minimalist interpretation of the leaf in red.

          I was replying to someone who did not specify a “minimalist red maple leaf on a white background”. They said that Canada should trademark all depictions of maple leafs on all product packaging.

          I was also joking. I should know by now that people on the Internet are bad at picking up my tone.

        sorry, it’s our Maple Leaf now you’re going to have to draw a slightly visually distinct one, in a different color
