To show support for Canada amid a trade war with the U.S., John Mackay says he tries to only buy Canadian products during grocery runs.

That's why the 81-year-old from Tillsonburg, Ont., said he's complained to Metro multiple times after seeing orange juice with pulp by Irrésistible — a Metro-owned private-label brand — with a red maple leaf next to the price tag on the shelf.

"Since when are we growing oranges in Canada?" said Mackay, whose home is roughly 115 kilometres west of Hamilton. "I was pissed off."

Yeah, sobeys has popcorn kernels with the maple leaf on it. I inquired in store if that meant that the corn was produced in Canada, and they said yes.

Inquired with head office when I got home, and it's actually from the States. No fucking Canadian connection, other than it being sold in Canada, apparently.

For anyone looking, Giant Tiger has popcorn kernels that are a product of Canada, so the best you can get in a retail store.
