The gasoline running your car doesn't come from China.

Nor do many of the full-size pickup trucks used in America.
Just because they emblem says Chevrolet, don't assume it's made here.

Energy and Automotive — these two consumer markets are huge; and very related to trade with Canada!

if everything comes from china, how do you know canadian products are better?

anyway, if we were to make the choice to buy canadian over china it means we are theoretically swapping cost for quality. if so, why wouldnt we skip canada and buy american made products? are you anti-american!??
