One of Canada’s largest grocers is bringing back country of origin labelling as the “Buy Canadian” sentiment gains steam amid an escalating trade war with the United States. After facing social media backlash, Loblaw says it heard consumers’ demands to bring country-of-origin labelling back. “As Canada enters another period of trade uncertainty with the United States, we are once again taking steps to give customers clear information about products affected by tariffs and make Canadian products easier to identify,” a spokesperson for the grocer said in a statement. “We will also continue using the maple leaf symbol in our stores to help customers identify Canadian-made and prepared products. This includes reintroducing the country-of-origin in our fresh produce aisles,” the statement added.

LAS VEGAS -- A Canadian man was convicted of animal cruelty charges Monday for snatching a flamingo named Peachy from its enclosure at an iconic Las Vegas hotel. Prosecutors said it was a malicious prank while a lawyer for the tourist insisted it was drunken foolishness not meant to harm the bird. Prosecutors said tourist Mitchell Fairbarn hurt and frightened the 27-year-old Chilean flamingo when he took it from its habitat at the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel and Casino and carried the squawking bird to his room March 3. Defence attorney Josh Tomsheck told jurors at trial in a Nevada court that the man deeply regretted the “bad decisions” he made while intoxicated. After about five hours of deliberations, jurors returned convictions on felony and misdemeanor animal cruelty counts against the Ontario, Canada, man.
