THE CAN FROM CHINA

THE CAN FROM CHINA


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 SINCE IT'S FROM CALIF.


TAKES FOREVER JUST TO BUY FOOD AND DO LABEL READING ! !


Are we Canadians andAmericans 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 Canadian and American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the previous administrations for perceived errors.


Yet 70% of Canadians and 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

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 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 Canadians and Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!


The downside? Some Canadian and 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 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 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!


Please pass it on

I may be wrong ... but I believe when Wally World started, everything they sold was American Made ... I now challenge you to find anything it that store 'Made In USA' ... it's our thirst for cheap products, cheap food etc. ... had a guy who worked for us several years ago ... we were in the grocery and I went for the more expensive and better looking produce from the US instead of Chile ... his argument was " It all makes a turd, whats the difference? "

Everyone copy and paste softbalmafia's post and email it to everyone in your address book.

I for one as of today will look at everything I buy.

Although I agree with the concept. I think our government owes the Chinese government a lot of money. If we all boycott, the Chinese may pull a margin call
