You need to a) check to see where the product is made - your "Product of Canada" label does that part - you then need to b) check to see who owns the parent company. For example, Canadians love Habitant soups - Habitant soups are a) made in the US and b) owned by Campbells which is an American company so that one strikes out on two fronts.
It's not easy and requires a lot of research but as you become more and more familiar with which brands are truly Canadian (i.e. - made in Canada and owned by Canadians) it becomes easier to buy Canadian.

Some are some are not. You need to read the label. Same with Life Brand products at Shoppers - some are made in Canada (and naturally Life Brand is owned by Loblaws so the parent company is Canadian) and some are made in the US and other places.

I don't tend to take people who appear to be mentally ill and harassing people at their word, no. I call the police and allow our legal system to handle the matter. Canada is a country of laws and due process and not punishment based on vibes and crazy shouting.

We don't ship schizophrenic people off to The Hague without doing a bit of due diligence first and as with most ridiculous claims people make whilst screaming in public, it's highly likely this person is full of shit and mentally ill so maybe The Hague is bit premature. People who actually commit these types of crimes aren't known to stand around in public shouting about them dressed like someone's crazy ass old uncle.

Capital punishment is, in case you are not Canadian, illegal and a non-starter here. We won't even extradite to places where it's legal unless they provide a firm guarantee that capital punishment will not be imposed (see United States vs. Burns - Canadian Supreme Court - 2001)

This video shows someone who needs to be hauled off in a cop car and likely submitted for a psych evaluation.

Product of Canada just means "made in Canada" - so by that definition Pepsi is a Product of Canada since the Pepsi products sold on the shelves here are manufactured in Canadian plants but said plants are owned by PepsiCo

We do - we need something like Australia has where they show how Australian a product is (made there by a foreign company, made elsewhere by an Australian company, made there by an Australian company) - their labels even show the percentage of ingredients that come from Australia - we are nowhere close (yet!) to that level of transparency mostly because NAFTA and CUSMA have made it something people didn't care about it - until now :)

100 - check out Sprague if you want a relatively easily available truly Canadian soup brand - you may have to go to a few stores but they are popping up at more and more places since this all started

You're asking the right questions - we clearly have some sort of immature people here who aren't aware of how the law works (sorry you can't kill people you don't like - not even Zionists) and we have zero context as to when or where this took place and if someone called the cops (as they should have) and if charges were pressed (as they should have but not the death penalty since hi we don't have that in Canada and this person could be mentally ill or just an insane racist asshole or both - these do not qualify for the death penalty otherwise the homeless man in my town who screams racial epithets all day and claims he killed Oprah would have been gone long ago)

sérieux là ça a l'air être de l'appât à rage sans contexte pour faire en sorte que les gens laissent des commentaires de même

We don’t have the death penalty in Canada nor should we be calling for anyone to be put to death for being a loudmouth asshole who is likely full of shit on the street. That’s a slippery slope. Is everyone in here like 14?

We have other punishments for harassment and hopefully someone called the cops on him.

I implied if you don’t care about FOSS go Samsung. I’d never buy a Chinese phone personally but you do you. They’re also expensive and many don’t have band 13 which is needed for most carriers Canada ( I won’t use Rogers or its subsidiaries and Freedom Videotron Telus and Bell all use band 13 in rural areas - I’m in a rural area)

Guanfacine (tenex / intuniv)

Both guanfacine and clonidine did nothing but cause a rapid heart rate, slightly lower blood pressure (I already take other medications for my BP so that's covered) and make me have to pee six or more times every night. It wasn't for me - I get along much better with my Adderall XR with smaller dose of Adderall XR (we have no Adderall IR in Canada and doctors here are not keen to prescribe IR dextroamphetamine) in the afternoon.
