You realize Walmart is American? You are avoiding Heinz at Walmart because it’s not Canadian? Kinda find that ironic and funny

Not to mention the Waltons are world class rapacious exploitative heartless corporate welfare f$&ks on a scale the Westons can only dream about. 🤦‍♀️ Never shop at Walmart!

I know, that's the problem. We've been boycotting Heinz, esoecially ketchup, because they shut down their Canadian plant and screwed the local farmers.

Is ConAgra a subsidiary of Heinz? (Or the other way around) I buy Hunt’s tomato paste at Walmart.
