In what world does changing to a provider in another country get publicly advertised and sold as a marketing gimmick? Name me one other example of this. If you ever see a US company switch to Canadian Beef and publicly decree how great their program is I'll sign you the deed over to my house. That company would be as good as bankrupt within a year.
This isn't moving your IT services to India to save costs, this is taking a fundamental Canadian Agriculture industry and underhandedly crapping on it while hiding behind a ridiculous certification that is meaningless. Anyone who knows anything about the food industry knows that Canadian standards are significantly higher than their US counterparts. The FDA generally has much lower standards than CFIA (administers for Health Canada).
