"He argues grocers used maple leaves, flags, and tags like “made in Canada” to sell products imported from elsewhere”. While this is blatantly wrong, I have to wonder how many times the products were not just imported from “elsewhere”, but from the USA. I think most Canadians are ok buying and supporting products from anywhere BUT the USA. Obviously we look for Canadian products first, but are happy to support new trade with new countries. I just don’t see why stores would slap false labels on products from anywhere but the USA. And if this is the case, it makes the wrong even worse.
Regardless, product origin labeling should be done accurately.
The US is not the only place worthy of a boycott these days. I also avoid products from Isreal and Russia.
There's a local brewing supply co that does cannister swaps for SodaStream things and I'm trying to figure out how to diplomatically ask "so are you actually paying SodaStream for rights to do this or are you just DIYing it?"
Since, like, I assume Canadian Tire pays SS for like official vendor status for swapping the cannisters.
And I don't wanna pay SodaStream. I mean I'm not gonna throw out my old stuff either, it still works, just needs fresh CO2.
I'm pretty sure the connector on a sodastream bottle is not proprietary. It's very similar, if not the same, as the ones on the paintball canisters I used to fill (at least the threaded one).
It's not, but they do sell adapters:
