Play Russian Roulette if you want to, but I'm done with buying foreign....
A friend sent this too me and asked to share.!
This is not only to save Canadian jobs it is to save ourselves and our nation as a whole from illness. Foreign production lines are not kept up to the same high standards we have here in Canadian and are far from clean.
Not to mention the horrible state of overseas water supplies. Don't they say when overseas or on vacation always drink bottled water? How do you really know the water used in most imported canned edibles is clean? You don't! Scary thought isn't it?
We had better get on the wagon and start reading labels. Not only do we already send enough money overseas as charity but do we really need to be sending more of our hard earned money when buying something that could possibly cause mass sickness across our beloved family, friends and countryside???? Think about it!
This is TRULY worth reading and considering.....
All pickles with the Presidents Choice label and the No Name yellow label [Superstore] are made in India. Think about it, water from the Ganges River is used. Tell me if you think this sounds like a clean enough river!
The Ganges River and basin is the most heavily populated river basin in the world, with over 400 million people and a population density of about 1,000 inhabitants per square mile (390 /km2).
Exactly what I thought you would say!
Made in Canada
A physics teacher in high school, once told the students:
That while one grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't
Slow a train very much, a billion of them would.
So, keep that thought in mind, read the following, obviously Written by a patriotic Canadian:
Shopping in Lowe's the other day for some reason and just for the fun of it I was looking at the garden
hose attachments,They were all made in China . The next day I was in Home Hardware and just for the fun of it I checked the hose attachments there.
They were made in Canada!
Start looking........
In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else - even their job.
A quote from a consumer: ...my grandson likes Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it is marked
made in Mexico now, instead of Smiths Falls , Ontario . I do not buy it any more.
My favourite toothpaste, Colgate, is made in Mexico now. I have switched to Crest.
You have to read the labels on everything.
This past weekend I was at Wal-Mart. I needed 60W light bulbs. I was in the light bulb
aisle, and right next to the GE brand I normally buy was an off-brand labeled, "Everyday Value". I picked up both
types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the same except for the price. The GE bulbs were more money
than the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most
was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get
ready for this - Canada at a company in Ontario .
Their Equate Products are also made in Canada , and are very good.
Just to add my own experience on buying Made In Canada , I was looking for canned mushrooms
that were made in Canada and could never find any, so I would buy fresh.
But recently I found Ravine mushrooms - made in Canada with a little red maple leaf on the can. A
little more money but when I opened the can I looked at mushrooms that look
like real mushrooms, not a mushroom that looks like it was cleaned in bleach.
Another product I no longer buy is Del Monte or Dole canned fruit. Del Monte is packaged in
Taiwan and Dole is now a product of China .
Why should we pay for their fruit when our growers are left with fruit rotting on the trees. E.D.
Smith is still made in Canada .... buy theirs, at least you will know
what is in it and have some quality control.
So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here .
My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made In Canada .
The job you save may be your own or your
neighbor’s'! (Your children & grandchildren, also.)
If you accept this challenge, pass it on to others in your address book so we can all start
buying Canadian, one light bulb at a time! Stop buying from overseas companies!
(We should have awakened two decades ago.)
Let's get with the program. Help our fellow Canadians keep their jobs and create more jobs here in Canada .
This is not only to save Canadian jobs it is to save ourselves and our nation as a whole from illness. Foreign production lines are not kept up to the same high standards we have here in Canadian and are far from clean.

If President Obama insists on a 'Made in America ' Policy, which is commendable of him, to
support American workers, we should do likewise.
Read the labels. Support Canadian jobs.
BUY CANADIAN !

Mr. Crunchy,Adventures in the neighbor hood again!
Oct/04/2012: update,Mr.Crunchy,rises to the occassion. To-day,the kids are outside playing and making noise, all of a sudden,I hear"shut the fuck up" and before I can get the boys to quiet down he says it again and this time the oldest says something rude back to him. Luckly he had slammed his door and didn't hear him.
To-days, episode is about the neighbor in the apt building yelling “shut up” out his window or door. It is about 10 minutes to eight o’clock AM, if you can believe it. And why is this person yelling you ask, well let me tell you.
Our kids get up between 6 and 6:30 am everyday, so there is a lot to get done before they catch the school bus. Sometimes, they get done early and get to play outside until the bus comes. If they play in the front yard its quieter than the back yard.
The back yard has a natural acoustic echo to it and if you talk loud enough aka “yelling” you get a 1.5% increase in your volume, amphitheatre or amplifier, sound pretty close. Put 3 kids playing soccer in the backyard, you can imagine, the sound level.(migraine)
The Crunchy, (its easy to earn this title from me),his bedroom faces the backyard which now is bombarded with noise in a full fledged soccer game going on with the 3 beavers.
The Crunchy, is a generic name that applies to either man or women. (as in this case, I am poetically, inclusive and politically correct?). So, should I use “they” in the description?.
He, she, they, must be retired, because why else would a person still be in bed, especially around here?. Well, the truth is they are all retired, with a few exceptions. I, presume it’s a “he”.
The noise level was a thing I was used too as I continued on the fixing up the back packs etc, until I heard this real loud “shut up”. Well, I think you could hear a pin drop. Kids run in and ask what the heck was that??. I, think it was a person that didn’t like the “sounds” of your game.
Well, it worked the boys didn’t want to go outside, until the bus came and were very quiet going to the road. Crunchy, thank you, you have saved the day and as your consequence you get this story splashed on my blog and someone will figure who you are.
Did I mention that it snows here, sometimes daily.? And, that the snowplow arrives between 6:30 and 7:00. A.M. And folks this not a quiet machine, especially when he drops the blade. It growls!.
I use to live near the tracks and I know what a locomotive working up speed sounds like, this is very comparable. And he has a yellow blinking light on top, a very large, bright, blinking light, really it flashes off and on, alternating, like a light house!.
A traveling caution signal light, so it is and don’t you know!. Maybe, when the kids came out, he had reached his “threshold of intolerance”!. Totally, another story in its self. But, I, do digress. Often and with out shame.!
Did, I also mention that are dogs in the hood as well. Yes sir, there are a collections from small sopranos, bulgy beagles to totally prominent Cujoe baritones. Can you all guess at what time these performers come to, too,…..pee?.
For the record they are largely quiet until their business is done and then they need to serenade us with the various tunes and songs they know so well!!. It ain’t quiet.!
And for what its worth, “you have my humble apologies I am sure”. Kids will be kids and even though they are ours, I do not apologize for their behavior, rather for your total lack of good manners. But, you wouldn’t see that way, now would you?., you all give “grouches” a bad name.
Thank you folks, stay tuned your true adventures from “the hood”. I ain't Judge Judy,so I don't care,well maybe a little bit.! No disclaimers: mostly true and enhanced for the public to enjoy.
