Aristides Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Unfortunately, it is difficult to avoid buying made in China even when you are trying. It's kind of depressing when I look at how much stuff I own from the sixties, seventies an eighties that was made in Canada, before China and NAFTA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExFlyer Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 An inspector with the Ottawa Police Service was worried the 'Freedom Convoy'Â could turn into a Jan. 6-style attack on Parliament Hill, No such attack ever happened in Ottawa but the inspector told the commission "what materialized exceeded all our expectations" in terms of the size and scope of the protest. He said Tuesday he was shocked by the number of vehicles that rolled into the city at end of January.

Well we have nobody to blame but ourselves, we the consumers have been constantly searching for cheaper shit, even when it is garbage in quality. And until we stand up as consumers and take the hit for higher prices, nothing will change. perhaps it is convincing business to move production out of China to a new more friendly nation, India, any Asian country. I can remember back in the day there was a huge government Push to buy Canadian, ads were everywhere. 2 Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

He admitted that they all got it wrong and the plans drawn up as a result of initial reports were useless and the plans from that point on were very fluid.

Jan 6th served as a lesson t..... Panic is fine, not sure if it mounts to the emergency act. What I have taken away from the testimony so far is that they completely underestimated the severity and amount of the protesters and crowd. All preliminary reports anticipated a normal protest and for it to last only the weekend. The commission is still questioning about the first weekend and has yet to get to the weeks later on. I am watching (global.ca is streaming it) and find it interesting how unprepared or, underestimated they (the Ottawa police) were. 1 Quote Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Careful of labels, they are smart nowadays to be able to hide actual site of manufacture and you end up buying made in XX and only packaged or shipped to you or your store from Canadian warehouse. You gave no solution. Stop buying made in China is not even reasonable. I wake up and smell reality, not pretendland.  Oh and, the topic is the Emergency Act Commission. Even today, the questioning is still on the prep and planning for the trucker debacle and the first weekend. The key is that all police forces were surprised at the extent and quantity of the truckers. They had not planned or foreseen the scope of the actual event. The police forces did not anticipate or plan for what eventually happened. Why is it not reasonable Flyer? Why is refusing to finance China a bad idea? I've come to note that you're not a prototypical Libbie. But I've also noted your willingness to roll over for the abuses our government consistently subject Canadians to. Is there anything you will object to? I mean...other than objecting to those who DO want Canada for Canadians. Edited October 26, 2022 by Nationalist Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Jan 6th served as a lesson towards Western allies including Canada. Not to mention their security and leadership flaws of the Capitol police. Scenes of those so called "patriots" travelled the globe, embarrassed the United States image and gave ammunition to authoritarians regimes to pass their propaganda to internal threats. This is why you still have people today, in 2022, still believing the election was faked in the US from George Soros in Switzerland to take over via a one world government. = ) and I am sure most of those people were peaceful in Ottawa (even the ones that were stopped), but we all know how this works, a few "leaders" at the front and the rest follow. This is how group mentality works, you add the fact that the leaders released that document -> PRIOR to them heading over there. Panic, not sure if it mounts to the emergency act. Yes we saw mob mentality when our "leaders" started blaming the unvaccinated for killing grandma's and told them they were no longer welcome to participate in society.

It is more expensive and it is at times hard to find a product not made in China. That does not mean I will not go out of my way to find them...if I can. My point Flyer, is that we made this mess by being short sighted. "Oh look...$2 shirts." We eat up the cheap-assed crap and think we've done well for ourselves, but have unknowingly hurt our own nation. "Oh look...we can have that made in China for half the price." But do the savings make it to the Canadian consumer? Like the entirety of western civilization, we've opted for cheap-assed crap and huge corporate profits...and have dug ourselves into a massive hole. I want to dig us out of that hole. I cannot accept this current situation, as it is not good for our nation in the long run. 1 Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

More to the point, "no trade" with China would tank the economy, period. Populists suggest that we should make everything domestically. And as to where the Capital would come from to create this home side industry, and how it would be managed, the answer has to be massive government intervention in markets. So revealing, this paradox. They hate Trudeau, and yet under this vision he would lead Soviet Canuckistan, and decide who wins and loses... 2 Quote  Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
