Its a good thing we have Blackie to protect us from the wrong size of potatoes. Too bad the peasants can’t afford them or even find them on store shelves.
IT’S THE LAW!
Or we’ll fine your ass out of existence!
Millions of the little shits, just waiting for a Karen or inspector to get you.
Poor kids being born are automatically burdened with these laws that we never got to agree to, just imposed.
For your convenience…
Welcome to your imprisonment they call a Democratic Freedom.
How many buildings full of useless Communists making more in wages and benefits than the average family does it take to come up with this useless Commie Shit.
What we learned with the CERB is that 40% of all Canadians work for one of 3 levels of Government.
We also now know that Canadian Government is 9 TRILLION in Debt.
What do you think comes next?
Robert Franklin Beacon?
Watcher: Regarding the topic at hand “What do you think comes next?” How about less potatoes and more water per can would be my guess. The plebs will love that novel idea. Just can’t seem to finds the truckers to get it to market.

As many have said here. Not a serious country.
Size is measured in numbers and math is racist.
This potatoe conversation is racist !!!
Why can t potatoe dices just be who they identify as???
you evil white surpemacists !!!
potatoe
Dan, is that you!?!?
Which Dan? It’s not me.
You’re not serious, wake up Canada we are now in a socialist country
Why not just let the free market decide which product or version of it will prevail. Does anyone with an IQ above room temperature really think that this requires any form of government oversight? I don t need or want some bureaucrat to decide anything for me least of all what size of canned potatoes i m allowed to buy.
The Ministry of Silly Walks was only the beginning. Regulating everything is the goal of the sociopaths who aspire to elected office. It’s all for the common good.
Okay, why does this need to be done?
Too many bureaucrats in a bloated permanent political class. I suppose we should be encouraged by the fact that they feel the need to try justify their overpaid positions by doing something other than shoot rubber bands at the pictures in their offices.

The food shortage is intentional, and here is why ( just a theory )
Leftist leaders have seen how the fear of covid made the masses easy to control like sheep and it even help them rig elections.
They now are creating a food shortage because a population trembling in fear ( of starving of running out of toilet paper, gas, etc etc ) will do what it is told.
They now are creating a food shortage
Someone smarter than me wrote on this blog at the very start of the Covid hysteria so long ago, that this government fomented insanity will only end in wage and price controls, government food distribution centres, digital currency, and a social credit control system.
Whatever does transpire, this madness has proved beyond doubt that the vast majority of the population is no more than a blind, obedient, sycophantic slave of OneState. Your neighbours, rather than OneState’s Guardians, are more likely to turn you in.
All hail the Glorious Benefactor!
Hail Hydra !
Jeez H. You know who! How much government do we need?
It seems that it is wayyyyy past time for some serious pruning.
“We want to hear from you…”
Sure. We are sending a message, via a couple thousand trucks headed your way. You know, the ones that CBC says are protesting “the conditions of BC highways.” Are you going to give them the same treatment you gave the truckers a few years ago – calling them names and refusing to meet with them?
Do you REALLY want to hear from us????
About things that matter??
Some of the euros were offended that Brussels had mandated the curvature of cucumbers, and those with too great a curve were “not cucumbers”. Perhaps it wouldn’t fit in them like they do in the euro clubs?
Who buys canned diced potatoes?
I didn’t even know such a thing existed until this am. So thanks for pointing this out, I guess.
those who use it in hash while camping, and other forms of storage are unavailable?
related, I can’t find any USDA regs that indicate what the acceptable dice size is for potatoes in the US
So the proposed change is to double the maximum piece size from 10mm to 20mm, increasing the volume by a factor of 8. Bigger pieces randomly dumped in the can will not pack as well, nor fit the round shape of the can. Likely net effect will be to reduce the amount of potato in each can. Prices, of course, will not change.
Exactly! Whenever government regulates like this … someone is gonna get $$$$ rich. I was thinking some FOG (Friend of Government) is a supplier of 20mm dicing knives … and is simply collecting their rewards for political contributions. But your analysis is far more logical …
I think everyone is misunderstanding what this is… Its like saying Canadian Grade ‘A’ Beef. Its so you know what you are getting for a product. There are several different grades… but essentially its changing grading standards… like eggs or anything else…
You know I was just thinking that this morning – why don’t we have better grading on our cans of diced potatoes. Another thing (a bit more serious) is there is virtually no grading of fresh fruit and vegetables (other than organic which is total BS). The government regulates diced potatoes in a can but when it comes to choosing which lettuce will give you the shits – nothing. We need a “may contain E.coli, salmonella, or listeria” on fresh fruits and veggies. March with me!
It would be interesting to know if the potatoes even come from Canada. Grade A Canada doesn’t indicate country of origin.
Spare me
Hey Government! Fuckoff!
Two years, no covid treatment protocols but they have time to do this? We’re being governed by bureaucratic idiots of the highest caliber.
Meanwhile Mr. Potato Head is having his afternoon nap. “ What difference does it make “ .
What difference does it make
Hey, totally out of context!
The size of the diced potatoes doesn’t matter because there won’t be any on the shelves.
Oh there will be but on THEIR shelves stocked with provisions in their underground bunkers and lairs.
Bunkers THEY will hide in, they think.
Once gas is poured down the air vents and lit , they can choke on it.
Hey John, Why light the gas? Just let em slowly choke on the fumes, and they won’t even be able to light up for one last toke as they expire!
Send a scathing letter suggesting that the government bloat supports idiotic, inane inquiries such as this when, in fact, the tax dollars could and should be spent elsewhere while those directly involved in this nonsense should be shown the door and a resume builder.
Hey, they said “we want to hear from you.”
The good news is there will be plenty of government employees to read your letter.
Orson, Your scathing letter is suggesting sanity and creative thought, so they’ll ignore it anyway!
Supposedly we live in a first world country. Can you even flippin’ believe it anymore?
Hey, I’ve been measuring my canned potatoes. And you know what, they’re too small! They need to be at least 3mm larger (on each edge.) At the current size a child could easily try to swallow one whole and choke. This is a critical safety issue! Thank god government is finally stepping in to resolve the problem.
Meanwhile the Liberal government in Ottawa is re-arranging the chairs on the Titanic…..God help us…Steve O
Pretend work at a make-believe job.
These useless tits used to make me mad, but now with my aches and pains I’m probably more jealous.
When the spuds aren’t up and the chips are down, you gotta ask yourself, “What’s taters, Precious”?! Pommes de terre?!
Only white potatoes? RAYCISS!!!
Prime Minister Bud The Dud is gonna save you from Big Potato!
Nice to know our government is on guard for us against the inadequate potato cube.
They should be the size of Dice so we can put little dots on them and play Yahtzee and Monopoly and Snakes and Ladders and even Craps. We could even flatten them a bit, letter them and play Scrabble. Board games are growing in popularity now that we’re locked up in our homes.
Bureaucrats, I seriously wonder how they manage to survive.
They should run a contest, where different suppliers provide the size of potatoes that they think will be most satisfactory for consumers. All of the suppliers could display their products in stores, and the consumers would choose the ones they like best. After a while, it would be apparent that there’s really no reason for the government to concern itself with the size of diced potatoes, and all of the bureaucrats in the Ministry of Potato Sizing could be sent packing.
I am indifferent to the question of diced potato size.
However I would very much like some stringent regulation on the number of clams in a clam chowder.
Yeh, and a regulation size for a pint of beer! In Imperial!! (‘Pint’ isn’t metric)
I’m outraged! Outraged I tell you! Standards that only apply to white potatoes! How racist. I see that POCs (potatoes of colour) are left out again!
Hey Canada. We have another decision to make! What flavor ice-cream we will permit. Shall it be vanilla or chocolate?
What, no strawberry?! What kind of insane fiend are you?!
Clearly a sign we have too many bureaucrats.
Let the market decide what size potatoes are diced.
Sheesh. SMH!
Fire them all.

In a trailer waiting for a driver to deliver it.
