Article in French. I want all of Canada in on this. We should start collecting pics of mislabeled products in stores as well.

Im curious about what the law considers something to be "false advertising" or not. My guess is that false advertising focuses heavily on the final product. They're still providing the product that's advertised on the packaging so it's not false advertising. But the laws around what can be classified as "Made in Canada" could be a lot looser. A product can have so many steps and parts in its creation, and each step/part can be all over the globe; so how do we define something that's "Canadian"? (I'm assuming this is already answered in case law)

I've noticed grocers are attempting to skirt the definitions by claiming things are "prepared" in Canada, even if the product itself is foreign. I'm sure that's how they'll attempt to get by this lawsuit.
