Take away all the imported foods and the stores will be very barren. Not to
mentions when other countries stop buying our farm goods. Your simplistic
statement has serious repercussions.

Since the majority of foods are not marked with their country of origin, how
do you know this?

I am not sure there should be a law, but it should be up to consumers to
make sure that they buy the things their neighbours make wherever possible.
I used to hang a flag for Canada Day but our flag was old and worn out. I
looked high and low for a Canadian made flag, but the only flags I found
were made in China, and I will be damned if I am going to hang a Chinese
made flag at my place.

Suppose the Chinese made flag cost $10, and you found a Canadian made
flag for $50. Then what?

I would get the $50 Canadian flag.

The majority of foods are indeed marked with country of origin... in
fact if anyone encounters food not marked with country of origin pass
it by.

I've been thinking about getting a 49-star flag to fly on flag days
while they are still available. I just recently found out that there
were US flags with 49 stars; I thought it went straight from 48 to 50.
49-star flags were only made in 1959, and I was born in 1959. ;-)

Thanks. It is still foreign made but IMO better made in USA than made in
China.

On a somewhat related note, am I the only one who sees some irony in people
displaying on the rear of their vehicles, "Support Our Troops" magnets that
are made in China?

I can't imagine there aren't Canadian flags made in Canada.

I bought this set some 8 years ago... it's been flying outdoors 24/7
all that time, still like brand new:

Btw, these flags are made in Wisconsin, that's almost Canada.

Flags made in America, fine. Food though? Sorry, but that's a silly
notion. What about real Scottish shortbread, Russian caviar, and
French wines? And I'm just skimming the surface here...

It is a Canadian company? Otherwise I doubt that it will do Dave much
good.
