Made in "Your Country Here" ; Is it important to you?

Everytime you don't buy something Made in China, that's someone in China (or elsewhere) not buying something Made in Canada.

When I import goods, I export local currency. Agreed. Exactly how that will 'find its way' back to my national economy is not clear to me at all.

Selling our natural resources wouldn't bother me quite as much if it didn't destroy the environment so thoroughly.

Buying from a country that has (little to no) environmental protection rules or labour protection rules, and hence lower costs just strikes me as exporting a problem today for a loss further down the road.
