In again, another example of corporate enshittification:
Campbell's Soup, which isn't Canadian and is not produced in Canada has put maple leaf symbols on their marketing. SPECIFICALLY to confuse consumers. The maple leaf is not a protected symbol, they just...decided to add it.
Edited for clarity and updated information!
#BuyCanadian Campbell's is putting Designed in Canada on some of their products (they're not the only ones).
It doesn't mean much. Just that they had some part of the design process made in Canada 🙄
I prefer Made in Canada (51% of the total costs are Canadian) or, of course, Product of Canada (98%)
'Made in Canada' vs. 'Product of Canada' -- What's the difference?

To summarize.
Apple Legal signed off on “inaccurate, unexpected, or offensive” content being pushed to users *by default*...
what could go wrong…

This is wild. In the updated Mac User Guide when you click on "learn more" in the Apple Intelligence area of the Settings it says:
"Turn Apple Intelligence on: With macOS 15.3 or later, Apple Intelligence is on by default and integrated across features in your apps. "
then a few lines later…
"Note: Apple Intelligence is currently in beta. Apple Intelligence uses generative models, and outputs may be inaccurate, unexpected, or offensive. Check important information for accuracy."

I would also like to say to Apple. You've had Siri for how many years? You've added many variations to your English speakers. But no Canadian variations.
Perhaps it's just the moment we're in, but I'd like to see a Canadian Western, Canadian Eastern, Canadian Maritime, and Newfoundland Option for Siri.
Thank you very much.
