• ... that the certification mark Product of Canada may be used for a good if at least 98% of all direct costs to create it are incurred in Canada? Source: "The Competition Bureau requires that at least 98 per cent of a good’s total direct costs of production or manufacturing are incurred in Canada before that good can be legally advertised as a "Product of Canada."" (Made in Canada or Product of Canada? There's a difference)
  • ALT1:... that a company that makes fraudulent Made in Canada or Product of Canada claims can incur fines of up to CAD $10 million? Source: "Corporations that break the law can face fines up to $10 million dollars. Individuals found guilty can be fined up to $750,000." (Made in Canada or Product of Canada? There's a difference)

• Comment: please note that there was a previous DYK about Made in Canada, but it was about the television series (Made in Canada (TV series), not the product labelling certification mark. See also Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Previous DYK article to be moved Mindmatrix 22:58, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
• Comment: there is a request to move this article to a different name. Results of the DYK review should be suspended until that discussion resolves. Mindmatrix 22:45, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment: I did some expansion of the article, so it might be a good idea to hold a full review for a bit. I think the only major missing content is how "Made in Canada" is received internationally. Everything else seems sourced and just needs a bit of layout and tidying. – Reidgreg (talk) 19:18, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
• ALT2 ... that journalist Frédéric Choinière lived for a year on Made in Canada goods? Source: The Globe and Mail: "French-Canadian journalist and TV host Frédéric Choinière ... decided to embark on a challenge of living for one year exclusively on Canadian goods ... As his made-in-Canada experiment winds down, Choinière says what he's learned over the year is that incorporating Canadian-made goods into his lifestyle was easier than he thought it would be"
• ALT3 ... that journalist Frédéric Choinière lived for a year using only goods Made in Canada? Source: The Globe and Mail: "French-Canadian journalist and TV host Frédéric Choinière ... decided to embark on a challenge of living for one year exclusively on Canadian goods ... As his made-in-Canada experiment winds down, Choinière says what he's learned over the year is that incorporating Canadian-made goods into his lifestyle was easier than he thought it would be" - same as ALT2 but grammatical.

This is only a comment but I'm not sure if ALT2 or ALT3 can be passed; from what I remember there's an (unofficial) guideline on DYK that mentioning people who don't have articles in hooks is to be avoided unless necessary. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:33, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

@Mindmatrix:, I am willing to do the full review, but the introduction needs work. It is far too short to summarize the main points of the article. Could you please expand? Flibirigit (talk) 03:24, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Additional ping to @Reidgreg: for the above statement. Flibirigit (talk) 03:42, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

@Flibirigit and Mindmatrix: I fleshed it out a bit and tried to include the essential facts. Two paragraphs is about right per WP:LEADLENGTH. – Reidgreg (talk) 13:36, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

 Reviewing... Flibirigit (talk) 15:07, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Overall: Article was moved to the mainspace on December 19 and nominated the same day. Length and sourcing are adequate. Article is neutral in tone. No plagiarism issues were found. The concerns highlighted by the Earwig tool were directed quotes and proper names, neither of which are plagiarism. All four of the proposed hooks are interesting, and all are properly mentioned in the article and verified by the source. Also, I feel that mentioning the journalist by name is not a violation of WP:BLPNAME since the attribution of the documentary is required and helps the understanding of the subject. No images are currently used in this article. QPQ requirement has been completed. Flibirigit (talk) 16:07, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the thorough review! I'm okay with any of the hooks. BTW, I took a look for sources on Frédéric Choinière and found a few pieces on his works (Ma vie Made in Canada is the most prominent in English media) but did not find any RSS focusing on the man himself, so I don't think a biography article would pass WP:GNG. – Reidgreg (talk) 12:35, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
