Neil Flagg does not seem to subscribe to the Comedy Network. Is it possibly be because he believes that Comedy Central is actually Commie Central to him? Or is it that every show on that channel is offensive to him (especially given that many conservatives are openly opposed to much of that channel's programming for its "liberal" use of shock value (pun intended)).

I find it bizarre that the Ford Bros cant get a new backdrop printed up for their YouTube show giving their family business

It's too early to write the history before the final events have occurred.
How do you know we've never met?

Deco deals with some pretty damn big clients. They're big ships to try and turn on a dime. They won't bother changing simply because the brother of Deco's CEO is an idiot. Remember, Randy's the one tending shop these days.

I mentioned this, as has Metroman. The general response from the board was that it's not really fair to the employees, etc. etc. (Obviously, I'm glossing over - but go back, people stated their reasons - many good ones - and the idea kinda fizzled). Although I still personally won't buy any products I know are labeled using Deco. I personally choose not to support the Ford family.

I have seldom if ever seen a label on a product saying which company printed the label - it is comparatively easy to organise a consumer boycott of an easily recognised company or brand but virtually impossible to do so where the company being boycotted is hidden and not really why one wants to buy the product. Any action against Deco could only succeed if you got their customers (i.e. other manufacturers) to boycott them.

Actually my user name is inspired by MetroMan. I'm observing this from afar in Delta, BC (albeit a native of Leaside - back when it was more blue collar).
I'm hoping that the good people of Toronto will rise as one and defeat the scourge of the Fords. Listening to their mother speak, it is easy to see that their behaviour is a direct result of their upbringing.
If it take a village to raise a child, Toronto needs to send these two to their room without supper.

The idea was also floated on reddit around the same time (Nov 2013) with much the same result: some interesting discussion, some typical-of-reddit nonsense/trolling and some good reasons both to and not to boycott; result: nothing much happened.
I too would never knowingly support Deco.

Excellent points. I'm heartened, however, how major companies and sport leagues weighed into the Arizona anti-gay bill debate. I'm hopeful there are companies of conscience out there that don't want to do business with these individuals.
Are the Fords criminals? Nothing proven, yet, but I wouldn't want to have the stain of association on me or my company if some criminal behaviour comes to light.

Do we have an updated list of companies that use Deco Labels?
