In today’s marketing-ploy news, Wendy’s has announced that it is launching a petition to make poutine Canada’s national dish. We can’t imagine what motivated the fast-food giant to commit to such an endeavour, but we’re sure it’s not self-serving in the slightest. On a side note, Wendy’s is adding poutine to its menus across Canada.
While the gesture is cute, we’re still wondering why Wendy’s decided to focus on poutine over Canada’s other distinctive dishes. Whatever happened to maple syrup, seal heart and maple syrup? Did we mention maple syrup? It’s a dish, right?
