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.
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.
