Total madness by the Canadian Food Agency. At least this time it's not because of French translation issues, but I can see the Colombian cartels and Russian mobsters rubbing their hands in glee at a new emergent black market...lol.

I'm worried about Bisto Best. They've only just decided to allow the stuff in. Disturbing news. What about Thornton's choccies?

Maybe you could smuggle a good amount of marmite into Canada in a unsuspecting Pipe Bomb

Or a very large amount in an exploding DOT-111 rail car.

I just do not understand this story even slightly, I can't remember the last time I went into a supermarket in Canada and they didn't have Marmite or McVitie's, and I've seen Irn-Bru plenty of times too.

So why did he want to import it all independently and why is the CFIA complaining?

I can't see the purpose of either action.
