The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.

That shit should be illegal to sell up here in Canada. I see it in stores right next to the pure Canadian maple syrup which doesn’t cost that much more than the fake corn syrup crap. The aunt Jemima costs like $6 and the real stuff is $10
