CANADIAN OR AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS ONLY...... READ WHY!
Subject: The Can from CHINA
takes a minute to read, but worth it...especially the last few paragraphs! This is something that maybe we should all think about doing!!!
When the Canadian dollar was low in value, foreign companies bought up most of the businesses in Canada at garage sale prices. Foreign owners have closed down the canning factories in Exeter (north of london) and in the Niagara area. As a result the local farmers have no place to sell their produce or have it preserved. In the soft fruit producing area of Niagara, farmers have ripped out their peach trees because other than road side stands who will buy their fruit? The big companies have already decided and publicly announced that it is cheaper to buy canned peaches from Greece, so that is what you will see in stores. The farm land is being sold to developers and turned into big house and condo developments. The canning factory in Exeter was eventually taken over by a co-op of former employees and they will try to make a go of it but it sounds kind of shaky. The politicians stood by and did nothing.
Garlic is no longer produced in Canada because it comes from China at a price cheaper than the cost of production in Canada. That's all you see in stores and there is no Canadian produced garlic to choose from even at a higher price. Maybe the high taxes in Canada have something to do with it?? A small but determined radical group trying to unionize farm labour didn't help matters either.
Sure all these trade agreements bring us low cost material goods, but if everyone is out of a job who is going to buy these products?
Good luck trying to find 100% Canadian products in stores. The only way to find such a thing is to deal directly with the farmer and leave out the retailer.
"FOOD" for thought. More information on this subject.....
I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT THE COUNTRY MARKET. ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA '.
FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN FROM CHINA I WAS SHOCKED!! SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND
OR THE DOLE IS FROM CAL .
Another example was in canned mushrooms. No-Name brand came
From Indonesia . Next to them were President Choice brand.
Produce of Canada !! The P. C. Went into my grocery bag.
TAKES FOREVER JUST TO BUY FOOD AND DO LABEL READING !!
Are we Canadians and Americans as dumb as we appear
--- Or --- is it that we just do not think?
While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in North American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the Bush Administration (now Obama Administration) (and the Harper Government!) for perceived errors.
Yet 70% of North Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded
to the Chinese should be suspended.
Well, duh... why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?
SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, CANADA/AMERICA!!
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says
'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ) simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without. Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some North American farmer. Easter is just an example, the point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.
THINK ABOUT THIS, If 200 million North Americans refuse to buy
Just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favour . . . Fast!!
The downside? Some Canadian/American businesses will feel a
Temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory. Wahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
The solution? Let's give them fair warning and send our own message. Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on June 4, and continue it until July
4. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their North American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it...
" Remember: June 4 to July 4 "
EVEN BETTER. . . START NOW!
Send this to everybody you know.
Let's show them that we are intelligent Canadians and Americans,
And NOBODY can take us for granted.
If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!
Pass it on, North America !!

어제도 방송에서 중국에서 수입하는 모든 농수산물 왜 그리 독성 화학 약품이 검출되고 있어 (농약, 방부제, 크롬, 납 성분 수은 등)국민 보건에 심각성이 대두됨. 싼 게 비지떡이란 말이 생각 납니다. 먹는 것으로 장난 치면 곳 바로 사형이다. 예로 플라스틱 달걀도 있다니! 또한 짝 퉁이 많은지 한국도 골머리가 아프답니다. -
중국의 싼 상품덕에 글로벌 인푸레를 막을수 있답니다.
허나 건강에 해가되는 상품도 많아 경계해야겠습니다.
좋은글 잘 읽었습니다. -

According to the principal spirit of free trade and the purposes of
GATT (General Agreements on Trade and Tariffs), no nations are
allowed to tolerate their peoples` dumping practices to a great extent.
But the reality now prevailing in world trade is the other way around.
This is really the Gordian knot. In some senses, seemingly dumplng act
often turns out to be contributing to the lessening of prices for consumers
worldwide, while it could also hamper the industries of importing countries.
China, Canada, the U.S. should continue sitting together and rack their brains
to produce workable measures for reasonable currency evaluation and maintenance
of free trade.
All in all, solutions are in the good hands of the authorities of the nations concerned.
They should listen more carefully to their partners` people than to their own people.
By doing so, we will succeed in rapidly arriving at the successful negotiation. Thanks !

명자야 좋은 글 올렸구나.
난 영어 가 짧아서 영어로 쓴글 읽으려면 머리가 아프더라
그런데 우리친구들은 모두 안그런가보지 요사이 영어로 올리는 글들이 많아 졌어.
나도 옛날 인사회 초창기에 그런 적이 있었는데
개구리 올챙이적 생각못하는거지. ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ

우리도 이미 마늘, 고추, 배추등 중국산을 먹고 있지않니.
심각한 일이다. 글로발 시대라고 하지만 식료품은 우리것
먹었으면 한다.
