Trudeau, who brought forward multiple censorship bills to "stop misinformation", spreads misinformation about Heinz ketchup not being made in Canada (archive.is)

Recalling the 2018 trade spat during Donald Trump’s first term in the White House, Trudeau told reporters: “The example from last time was Heinz’s ketchup being replaced by French’s ketchup because French’s was still using Canadian tomatoes in its ketchup.”

While it’s true that Kraft Heinz wasn’t making ketchup in Canada at the time, it has since reopened Canadian production, with more than 1,000 workers employed at a Quebec-based facility that uses Ontario-grown tomatoes, the company said in a statement.“

With the exception of the five years from 2015 to 2020, we have made Heinz Ketchup in Canada for more than 100 years.”

Trudeau doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt, but this is some leftist-style spinning and factchecking re: Heinz v. French's ketchup being made in Canada.

Heinz shutting down their Leamington, Ontario ketchup plant in 2015 was huge news that I'm sure almost all Canadians (or at least Central Canada ones) remember.

I still think of the controversy everytime I see a plastic French's ketchup bottle, which branded themselves as the Made in Canada replacement when Heinz fled.

I'm sure the fact that Heinz returned to the domestic market in Quebec 5 years ago is news to 99% of other Canadians learning this fact with Trudeau's FAFO.

I had the same thought. It's unfair, but Trudeau dosen't deserve being excused because he's a censorious ''we have to combat misinformation!'' fuck.

I also find it weird to have the plant in Québec, but import tomatos from Ontario, when Québec has a greenhouse tomato industry. I thought GHG emissions from transports were bad? Come on Trudeau. /s

Probably it was better PR for the company to start buying tomatos from Ontario again. Also I checked, and part of the production is from Prescott-and-Russell, which might as well be Quebec. Glued to the border, historically French speaking, still slim majority French speaking.
