Admittedly poor intro.. The pursuit of cheapness is showing gaping holes in capitalism on all fronts... We Canucks have a lot of rhetoric directed at us from the US on 'not letting the market take care of things'.. but the pursuit of cheapness is hitting us also.. The Black Swan

yes, and about the drug suppliers in columbia who supply the naughties to your compatriots, do we blame the source or the demand? who controls the middlemen, the dealers? are they in columbia or china, or do they live next door to you? your faulty logic flows through on your mistaken take on the issues on debt as they channel through on your belief regarding faulty goods, as one would expect, at least you are consistent, which is a good basis to work toward thought reform and facts re-education.

CB, I've thinking a little more about that. When I was younger and my family had their food business in Montreal, exports to the US were nice gravy. Anyway USDA inspectors would come up and they were real hard cases.. could shut down your export business for even a very minor issue... Years ago they stopped coming up and started relying on the Canadian inspectors. Now time was Agriculture Canada would oblige the company to provide an office for an on site inspector who was part of the fabric. Well Canada stopped that practice. So there are two holes right there... As I said in one of my earlier posts my country is not doing great on many of these issues either but I wonder what triggered the decision by the US government to stop protecting it's citizens and wage unnecessary wars in lieu ? Seems the budget is not large enough for both... (well apparently not large enough period but I digress) Did they make the right call.. outsourcing protection of the citizenry ? It is so easy now to blame someone else .. So easy to get the people to jump up and down and scream about evil China... (or frozen drugs from Manitoba). That is where I'm really going with 'That's nothing', which should be 'That's not all'... which of course leads me to Tibet... and my similar comment to max90 re weeds in your own backyard.. Now I need to go install my new LG front loading washer :O) The Black Swan
