Made in Canada

Let's change the rules and eliminate the grey areas.

1. MADE IN CANADA - containing 100% components manufactured or ingredients grown (etc) in Canada. 100% or not at all. If you make a table and say it is MADE IN CANADA then the wood in that table better be from BC. Glue, nails, they can come from other places and not be counted. I know I said 100% but let's be reasonable and say 90%. Though if you made a table from nails imported I'd be curious to know why because we have lots of steel here in Canada to make nails out of. Glue, it could be made here, and once some of its parts are imported to here and created then it becomes 100% Canadian.

2. PRODUCT OF CANADA - allowed to contain other country components or ingredients (etc) and assembled in Canada. Any parts included from other countries must be listed under a COUNTRY OF ORIGIN section on the label. For example, you can peaches from Florida in a factory here in Ontario, that's great, you can put Product of Canada on the label, but you must also include COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Peaches (United States) on the side.

3. ASSEMBLED IN CANADA - same as Product of Canada.

Otherwise anything sold in Canada not handled here in Canada (assembly, produced, grown, whatever) must list COUNTRY OF ORIGIN on the label. Not just product, not just made in, I want to know every country that can of peaches imported from the US came from originally. You can even put under Country of Origin, PRODUCT (USA) then list the rest to indicate it went to the US last (like Product of Canada). Even if you got the peach syrup from a batch of Brazilian sugar cane then you must list PEACHES (USA) SYRUP Sugar Cane (Brazil).

So to clarify, on the side of a can of peaches imported from the USA:

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
PRODUCT (USA)
Peaches (USA)
Cane Sugar (Brazil)

That assumes that the can was created in the USA, otherwise:

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
PRODUCT (USA)
PACKAGING (Mexico)
Peaches (USA)
Cane Sugar (Brazil)

If your peaches came from Florida, Mexico and Cuba, for example, then the label would read:
Peaches (USA, Mexico, Cuba) or you'd better know which one it is to exclude the others.

If you want to sell products in Canada you must have English and French labeling. There is no reason we can't enforce these label laws as well. Want to make it easier on yourself? Open a factory in Canada.
