Wow... i hate to stereotype and whatnot, i'm very anti-racist and anti-stereotype,but we gotta shut down the borders till they clean up their acts.

I just did more reading on it - thanks for the vid link. I had no clue that the tainting was intentional - the individuals responsible are horrible. Makes me sick.
I try to purchase stuff made in the US or in North America when I can.

This reminds me, yesterday I got my MPGuino and the bubble-mailer the package came in says, "made in Canada" on it. I was very happy and proud that such was used.
I seriously doubt any of the packaging stuff in stores in the U.S. is made in north america. We should be ashamed of what our materialism and "quality of living" has cost us.

Canada, or China?

That's the trouble with Canadians. They look just like the rest of us and sneak across the border...

Only suspect candy we had here in Atlanta was a group of people walking around the neighborhood handing out candy. They claimed they were representing a Church a few miles away. I threw out the candy and another neighbor called the cops.
Don't know if he was Legit or not. I assumed he was NOT.

I could not tell if he was Canadian. he was not wearing a "Toque" - nor did he say "eh?" at the end of the sentance.

: )

Canada is cool - they have stronger beer.
