No Love for Canadians as McDonald’s Brings Back the McRib

Earlier today McDonald’s announced they are bringing the McRib back nationwide on December 2 for the first time since 2012. The limited time only Rib sandwich is brought back every year but is notoriously hard to find.

good morning to everyone who asked how i was doing last week

and to everyone else…McRib is back 12.2

Shortly after the announcement, McDonald’s Canada released the following statement to 680News:

We are not bringing back the McRib in Canada at this time. Though we are always inspired by other McDonald’s markets around the world and are always looking for new flavours and menu items for our Canadian guests to enjoy.

An online petition was created by Mason Carr on petition.org over a year ago and it looks like its picking up traction as it has 550 signatures and a goal of 1000.

It seems the McDonalds social media team has been busy all afternoon responding to upset Canadians.

As a Canadian, I strongly urge you to bring the McRib back in Canada ??. Don’t give people a reason to visit the US during a pandemic! This is a public health issue!

If I could make a small request since it appears there is no chance of getting the McRib back in Canada…how about some McPizza?
