Why isnt some smart Canadian politician using this? Seems like an easy issue. Easy to dress up in patriotism even. The “no stealing Canadian valor” act or something like. Be a good vote getter as well as good policy.
Switzerland has a law like this restricting the use of Swiss symbols to only products made entirely in Switzerland. That’s why Toblerone had to change their Matterhorn logo.
australia does similar, but for all country of origin claims… the key phrasing is “representations to consumers” and “false or misleading”… ie you don’t have to specifically say “made in”
this would for sure be counted as a misleading representation, and this specific packaging would likely be illegal to sell in australia because it misleadingly represents that the products is somehow from/made in canada
