And central America. If it said “Latin America” instead, it would be correct.
Central America is officially a part of North America, though, as is the Caribbean. Otherwise, North America would consist of only two or three countries, depending on how you classify Mexico 🤷
Actually I thought NA was just 3 countries (or 4 if you count Greenland).
But also, continents are a social construct. America is one continent, is 2 continents, is 3 continents.
Careful, now, you’re heading towards a Pangaea Reunification campaign! 😁
Bring back Gondwanaland
No thanks. I’m pro-antlantic-separatism.
Bigot! (JK of course)
U.S.A. and Canada are born from Spanish, French and British colonisation, Britain is a French colony, therefore, they are also part of Latin America !
And we’re all just stardust anyway.
As thanks for reminding me of it, here’s some Symphony of Science ❤️
I dont think i want meat from most countries in those regions. Food safety regulations are not made equal everywhere. I wouldnt want any from the US either
Usually, the food regulations of the country you’re importing into is what counts. So in order to export to you, a product has to fulfil your country’s rules.
What’s to worry about is the labour and environment laws of the country your product comes from.
Yes but the exporting country decides if their product adheres to the rules or not. There is no way for the importing one to check if all the products actually meet its standards other than trusting the entire certification chain of the exporting one.
If that is actually the case where you live, it’s a rare exception. Most countries test samples of products routinely to see if they comply.
That’s just not true. Importers of Australian meat regularly indpect Australian facilities for exactly this reason.
I don’t know about their regulations, but countries like Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, and Japan are famously exporters of some of the most sought after meat in the world…

Yeah thats why i said “most” not “all”. Those are like 10% of the countries in those regions or less.
They’re also where the majority of the exported meat from those places comes from, so you can see how it could be easily interpreted as including those countries.
(This isn’t meant to sound dickish if it comes across that way, just explaining the thought process)
Canada has pretty decent protections in place for consumers, and meat has to hit the Grade Requirements for imported meat products.
additionally - employees at meat packing plants in the U.S. enjoy when they are processing meat for sale to Canada, because the processing lines slow down significantly, (meaning they don’t have to work at as much of a frantic pace), to meet Canadian standards.
I’m American and I endorse this message.
Same. And did they use the image of him looking at the sun (eclipse) for that sticker? A thing of beauty.
Damn they really removed the spray-on cheese-like product from the counter
What the fuck kinda cursed thing is spray on cheese
On another news, EU is probably thinking of creating a linux-based OS for adminstrative tasks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu3S2A02FFc Should’ve called it “EUrOS”

Now when they say this, does it mean that they’re Canadian owned companies or just made in Canada. Does it matter much?
This question and the challenges in answering it just show how interconnected and mutually beneficial (putting aside the capitalist wealth extraction part) our economies were between Canada and the US.
We’re struggling with this in our household as we review most of what we buy.
Someone should give them a sticker with Trump and this sentence. It’s the final touch.
