The Ottawa Citizen is American owned media pretending to be Canadian, infiltrating Canadian culture and politics.
Do you disagree with the articles points? Is there any misleading or false information in the article? Do you have an alternative source reporting on this that is acceptable to you for consumption?

I hear you. Attack the points, not the person. In general, agreed.

Not on this particular topic, but I also haven’t looked. See American owned media pretending to be Canadian, infiltrating Canadian culture and politics.
i think it’s useful to point out regardless so people can form their own opinions with as much information as possible about potential ulterior motives
It isn’t ever useful to attack the mouthpiece instead of the point.
Actually in this specific scenario, when we are trying to encourage and grow the buy Canadian movement, and move away from reliance on American, it makes sense.
If the information is sound it doesn’t matter who is saying it. Hard stop, no arguments.

it is useful to know that there might be reasons besides the point that they’re making though… you can make all completely correct arguments and still be wrong in a wider context
why are they making the point? why do they care? what outcome are they trying to achieve? perhaps incentives are aligned, but perhaps not
spin exists, truth can still be misleading

Yes I am sure thousands of people are able to keep this all under wraps to undermine Canadian democracy. They are educating Canadians on the dangers of US products for some nefarious reason only the shadow Government can know.
Fuck out of here with this nonsense there are real problems in the world and this isn’t helpful.
Fuck no - we literally can’t trust the US for anything right now.
And food safety was questionable before. We stopped buying cantalopes and onions from the US years ago. I rather do without than get ecoli or listeria.
Yeah food is something I never trusted the Americans with. As for privacy and stuff from tech, it was a “the devil I know,” situation.
Software is something I think we’re sleeping on. Any Windows machine, Android, iOS, should be considered compromised due to them being developed by American companies. The solutions to this currently are either effectively or quite literally non-existent.
Trump and Musk are intentionally dismantling safeguards from within and also trying to sell their chlorinated chicken to the UK so yeah probably not.
also what AlolanVulpix’ saying +1.

Woot, woot!
No one should trust the USA for ANYTHING at this point.
Well, except maybe chaos and malice.
Why should one trust the US with food safety from the start? Have you ever noticed how much artificial gunk they have on the ingredient lists that are illegal in half of the world, sometimes even in China, of all places?
Never should have, this is the country famous for sawdust bread
I absolutely do not need a professor to answer this question. Also what the actual fuck kind of response is “we should be skeptical”. Is this the headline for an article in “‘Duh’ weekly” or something? Well, No shit Dr. Empiricism; of course we should. Boycott that shit into oblivion.

Wasn’t there an old documentary about this called the Corporation about Fox News burying the story about US milk and Canada being concerned about the cover up?
No
The answer is no, and has been no for a while.
You trusted them in the first place???
Even as an American, right now I wouldn’t trust the US for shit.
They did before?!
General health advice.
Stick with as close to organic foods as possible. I know it may not be easy to go 100% organic for certain types of foods, due to the current day market. Which is why I suggested to stay as close as possible.
If you can, go for as close to 100% organic with the following.
a. fruits b. leafy greens/veggies c. organic fish over chicken such as Salmon d. seeds and nuts. Such as Almonds, cashews,
If you’re going to mix your drinks try to do so organically, such as by the slice of lemon on a cup. Tea is generally safe, especially green tea and black tea, which are known to be pretty healthy.
If you eat snacks or candies, you can do so, but check ingrediants that are put into your treats. Make sure there isn’t anything that raises a red flag, then check online to see if it doesn’t reach a red flag with anyone online. If it comes down to it, talk with a nutrition expert if the internet doesn’t seem to answer any question you may have.
edit: what’s wrong with this comment. i’m not saying to buy into any u.s foods, just generally, how to know if a food might be healthy. Regarding food safety.
I always eat organic. I don’t digest rocks, plastics or metals very well.
According to a comment above that may not be a given in the states.
I didn’t downvote but I imagine it’s due to your comment being somewhat irrelevant to the post and overall discussion.
Your comment isn’t bad, it just might be too loosely tied to the post.
