Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

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
