    The metal plate has gibberish engraving. I don’t see why this would need faking because there was a recent boycott campaign against Loblaws grocery stores in Canada but I guess its just laziness. or camera’s built in AI upscaling

      It’s not fake. The handle on the top works, and the plate is from a real Canadian company

        Yeah I think this just a case of AI image upscaling like someone else mentioned🤮

      It clearly says Tardif Métal Inc, which according to google constructs steel, electrical, and commercial structures so it kinda tracks. AI generated images aren’t getting that kind of context nailed bro.

      If I had to guess OP either has a phone that does AI upscaling on photos taken with the camera and it couldn’t handle the curved and reflective surface while trying to sharpen the text to be legible, or it’s just an optical illusion due to the aforementioned curve and reflectivity.

      Inb4 you tell me that I’m AI.

      It’s not gibberish. Just shit job on the engraving. The info on the right matches the label on the left.

      Top is company, the long mostly gibberish looking one is the serial or id number.
