I held out hope that the Conservatives labeling laws would at least make a dent into the false claims that companies were putting on their products. But I was watching Marketplace on the weekend and they talked to Loblaws about a President's Choice product that had the label "MADE IN CANADA" on a product that was made overseas and PACKAGED in Canada. But rather than say where the product actually came from, Loblaws just took the "MADE IN ..." label off the product. So the laws the Conservatives put in place last year "to help Canadians consumer know what they are getting when they buy a product" seems to be resulting in companies giving *NO* information to the consumer. What's worse? Bad information or no information?
