      Probably because a photo of broccoli doesn’t really look any different if it’s Canadian or American.

        The broccoli I buy is Belgian, anyway. Hopefully I’ll be able to get more Canadian stuff when the weather warms up.

      Probably because they pulled American alcohol off the shelves. It’s now the symbol.

      At the surface it seems to be, since people are switching from american products to Canadian ones. But, the supply chain is more complex.
