Buy Canadian when you shop - Tip #2
Do you eat oatmeal... like Quaker Oats porridge in the morning?
Did you know that Quaker Oats is an American company that is 100% owned by PepsiCo of New York, NY USA?
Quaker Oats has a production factory set up in Montreal Quebec which uses 100% Canadian-grown oats, which are the highest quality oats in the world and uses Canadian workers at that production plant in Montreal. Quaker-brand Oats that are produced in Canada is sold in Canada to Canadians and is not an export product.
100% of the profits made from Quaker Oats however, goes directly back south over the Canada/US border to PepsiCo of New York, none of which stays in Canada.
The only thing Canada gets out of Quaker Oats is Canadian-grown oats PLUS full-time employment for a bunch of Canadian workers in Quebec... THAT'S IT!
Here is a list of 5 Canadian-owned, Canadian oat producers who make oat products identical to what's found in a bag of Quaker Oats:
1) Nature's Path, 100% Canadian-owned with it's Head Office in Vancouver BC.
2) Only Oats, 100% Canadian-owned with it's Head Office in Saskabush, SK.
3) Speerville Flour Mill, 100% Canadian-owned, Head Office in Speerville, NB.
4) Presidents Choice Oatmeal, 100% Canadian-owned by Loblaws, Brampton ON.
5) Compliments Oatmeal, 100% Canadian-owned, Sobeys, Stellarton, NS.
There is no valid reason to be buying Quaker Oats of New York, USA anymore.
ELBOWS UP, kids!
