That's the problem though, isn't it? They do vote, too many people don't.

Pots and pans from Meyer in PEI.

Canadian Owned: No

If you’re looking to buy Meyer, keep a close eye on where it’s made, as they have factories in China, Thailand, and Italy, so just because it says Meyer, it may not be made in Canada. Their website is pretty clear about what products are made in Canada, as clearly, they see this as a differentiator in the Canadian market.
From: madeinca.ca

The Anglicized name of the family business, a transliteration of the Chinese characters for “beautiful” and “Asia” (“mai” and “yah”), was Meyer Manufacturing Co. Ltd.
From: encyclopedia.com

Even so, I really like the Canadian made Meyer pots that I own and will probably buy more.
