Today's side-by-side
Mandatory French on product packaging
Canada
All consumer goods sold in Canada must have bilingual English-French labelling under the Official Languages Act and Quebec's consumer protection law.
USA
No federal bilingual requirement. Spanish appears voluntarily on many US products due to market size, not law.
Every cereal box, shampoo bottle, and appliance manual sold in Canada must exist in both official languages. This is enforced. The back of every package is twice as long as it needs to be, and Canadians find this completely normal.
