Looks like there are more error cards out there for us Canucks. I picked up the Final Battle Jazz after hearing it was released in local Walmarts and found that it was on a Decepticon card as was the '08 BB. This is getting to be a common error since we do not have the tech specs on the back of the CDN deluxe cards or the other classes due to tri-lingual packaging. The factory just sticks in the card available I guess without checking if it should be an Autobot or Decepticon logo. More of an issue with QC and laziness.
See the attached pic for proof. Also picked up Payload but someone bought up all the Longarms.

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

Every carded TF Deluxe I saw in Canada was on a Decepticon card.

That error has been on just about every toy since the start, It's not just FB Jazz. Around here, ALL carded figures have the Decepticon logo.

You have a point there. I prefer the US carded figures with the tech specs on the back so I have not noticed.
Just plain stupid laziness on the factory production side IMHO on the CDN cards. The Real Gear and Voyager classes had Autobot and Decepticon logos but with errors there irrespective (ie Highscore on Decepticon card).

The last properly carded movie bots I have seen here in Toronto was the protoforms. After that, apparently everyone turned to the decepticons.

I was on Toronto on business and I went to a local TRU in a mall because I heard the movie deluxes had been released early in Canada (first wave of figures). When I found the figures in the TRU the first thing I noticed was the decepticon logo and no tech specs on the back. I called Seibertron to verify what the US cards looked like, and I put back the figures. Even though I had to wait a few weeks for the US figures to show up back home, it was worth it to get the proper card.
