It is deeply weird how the local Safeway will mark things as Canadian because manufacturing is here even though the ownership is entirely American.

They have Pepsi and Coke with Canadian flags on them for some weird reason.

Safeway is an american grocery store. They are not your friend and they will be on the side of American companies. That they are doing this is unsurprising.

Canada Safeway is owned (since 2013) by Sobeys, which is a fully Canadian owned company.

The only thing it has in common with the US company is the name.

Similar to A&W. Completely separate company in Canada and the US.

Well then, that just makes their misdirection worse.
