Canada has stricter regulations on certain staples like beef, poultry, grains, and dairy. The minimum quality ends up being higher than the US (and fast food places always go for the minimum) but it's also more expensive.
One of the tensions in the trade war is that the US wants Canada to loosen our food standards to allow cheap American products to flood the market.
Canadas meat production uses the same kind of factory farming as the US does. With concentrated feedlots and battery cages. These farms are owned by large corporations, and small scale farming has significantly declined over the decades.
Grading is largely for physical defects, fat distribution.
If your argument is that a stressed animal that hates is existence is “high quality” then what’s one example?
Meat isn’t graded on taste. The best chefs out there would never use factory meat. Ever been to a high end steakhouse? Where do you think they get their meat.
Canadian KFC is not that good. Canadian Popeyes is much better. I also happen to have a local Korean fried chicken place in my city that beats both of those unconditionally.
That's what I came to say. If Canadians had higher standards, they'd pay the extra fifty cents to get better coffee in the morning rather than your standard cup of timmy's dirt water

Canadian A&W.
They "separated" in 1972, and the difference between Canadian and American restaurants is night and day.
