What is "Standard Canadian" Pellet Quality

[nailed_nailer]

I was just perusing the woodpelletprice.com site looking for ton pricing.

http://www.woodpelletprice.com/products/pellets?state=MA&city=Berkley

My usual retailer is June at J&S Trucking in Berkley, Ma

They have;
Okies at $290
Vermont's at $275
and
Main Woods at $240

The question is Under the "Quality" column
The Okies and Vermonts are listed as "Standard Canadian"
The Main Woods are listed as "Premium"
Now I have burned both Okies and Vermonts for 3 years now, even burned Platinum's last year.
I know Okies and Vermonts are real close in quality and price would be the decider on either one.
They are two of the best pellets out there.
so,
What the heck is "Standard Canadian" quality? More gobbly gook from the PFI? ,
or something only on woodpelletprice.com

I checked woodpelletprice.com's FAQ to see if "Quality" was explained but didn't find anything.

Of course the update date on the list is 10/30 so not sure what that means.

I haven't experienced a bad canadian softwood pellet. Just my experience.

The heavy regulation keeps most good, but you pay more ..

I dont know for sure but I think it's marketing baloney. Canadian MFG's of pellets do not have an independent testing body. Like most pellet MFG's they 'loosely' use PFI grading to suit.
