Okay I’m not Canadian (or USian for that matter), but it’s common for big companies to have many production facilities and many product lines, so similarly packaged and named products are made in different countries and nobody pays any attention. Common example in my country is that since like two decades ago, Põltsamaa Felix was acquired by the Norwegian company Orkla, they’ll make some things here in their Estonian facility (in Põltsamaa, the town the company was named after) and then they’ll make some in Latvia or Lithuania, some in Sweden, etc. Unless you look at the package AND it states the country, you’ll have no idea.
