Actually, I think we were all quite happy to buy stuff from the U.S. until recently. In fact, "made in the U.S.A." was kind of a neat thing at one time. I used to work in the auto parts business and boxes often came in with colourful tape with stars and stripes and "Made in the USA" wrapping them shut. We didn't think anything of it. I don't know exactly what happened, but things are becoming destabilized as far as how people are feeling right now -- probably on both sides of the border. People from "up here" are not bothering to go to the U.S. as they used to, and likewise, there are barely any U.S. tourists coming up here, although they do fill the parking lots of any of the parks where they can drive over to hike or fish for the day before returning to the U.S. -- that's conspicuous to me because I happen to live close to 2 major parks not far from the U.S. border. Anyhow, I don't care much for this somewhat hostile situation, but I don't know how or when it will be remedied. I suspect there won't be a change until there is a change in government in the U.S.
