Can Canada create a food labeling system similar to this?

It’s confusing trying to buy Canadian with all the variations of made in, assembled in, grown in, packaged in, etc. Can we copy the Australian food labeling system, perhaps replacing the kangeroo with a maple leaf? I find this much clearer.

    It compares similar products for nutritional value, not the overall “healthiness” of all products compared with each other.

    Yes, but nobody knows that, they don’t teach it in school, and people just ignore it anyway because it seems unreliable.

      I’ve seen the explanation on tv once or twice but I agree, it’s confusing.
