Wasn’t it always? I think it is a guys name, not a nationality.

The Americans boycotted it during the Iraq wars but that is just because they are stable geniuses.

Upvoted for that “stable geniuses” line. Perfect

It was what the Canadian market moved to for ketchup and mustard after heinz fucked over Canadian workers. Its what the above is referring to, the move to the brand of "french's" to be more pro Canadian.

I am not talking about what usa people did or did not do, just that the Canadian move to french's is now not good enough.
