  1. Unfortunately, there is very little you can buy today that does not have at least some components made in China.
    Normally I would say that these problems are teething pains as an immature economy grows and expands and these problems would be corrected by market forces and/or government regulations.
    Normally…but really, who else will make these products for a similar price?
    What is a few children’s deaths anyways? They probably would have grown up to be criminals!

  2. Some of the CBC-sympathizers/left-leaners made the point that the CBC wasn’t just being the Canadian arm of the People’s Daily.
    Okay, fine, let’s assume your statement is true. Which is worse:
    1. A public broadcaster reporting and setting programming based on the ideological slant of the bosses.
    or
    2. A public broadcaster intentionally misleading the public with regards to negative news about a client, to which they are heavily indebted to.
    Yeah, the latter is even more corrupt than the former. I can watch Hockey Night in Canada on any channel — gut ’em and shut ’em.

  3. What else can you say? Proof of what everybody has known all along. The CBC is a communist propoganda outlet. Even covering up an attempt to undermine our children’s health, if not lives.

  4. Chima is quickly becoming an industrial chemical monopolist…it will soon be impossible to get certain manufacturing chemicals from any other source…this is a scary position in that China has none of the industrial standards or procust liability standards in place that the previous suppliers did…and we are seeing the results of buying “cheaper” from unregulated, unaccountable sources.

  6. WL Mac, the market is working the way it always does. China is becoming the industrial monopoly for -cheap-. If you want cheap, you go to China. It used to be Japan.
    Now, if you want -good-, you don’t go to China. The market for precision goods and high quality chemicals remains the same. The Chicoms are trying hard to catch up there too, but they are hampered by their own “close enough is good enough” commie mentality.
    Put another way, it is hard to get quality work out of slaves.

  7. What rubbish! Completly leave out the pertinent detail that only some of the toys are deadly, depending on which factory in China made them.
    And in case you didn’t know the difference between the “safe” and deadly toy is one carbon atom in the glue mixture. Instead of 1,5-pentanediol (OH-C-C-C-C-C-OH), they used 1,4-butanediol (OH-C-C-C-C-OH). I don’t know if it was deliberate substitution – presumably to save money – or a screw-up in manufacturing the chemical.

  9. CBC is obviously slanting their coverage of China due to their coverage of the Olympics. Someone over there needs to get a backbone and start delivering NEWS not opinion/incomplete information. At least the TorStar is self-supporting, although it sucks up profit from other divisions (but that is the boards perogative)

  10. At about 9.50 am on Sept.11 2007 CBC Sask played a poem written by a Gitmo detainee,I have never listened to or watched them since.Lane

  12. On Radio-Canada TV news, the CBC’s french “sister” (I’m in the Montreal region, I speak french) pretty much every time there is bad news about China, it is followed by some good news about China they dug from who knows where.
    And pretty much every time there is good news about the USA, they immediatly follow with bad news ( or more precisely , their own exagerations of a bad news )
    Their pro-China and anti-American agenda is so obvious.

  13. You know, its funny how the MSM around here and the CBC particularly never mention the slave labor and the parting-out of political prisoners for organ transplants that we are dead sure goes on in China. They just want to talk about the Olympics, and how well their economy is doing.
    The private media companies have an excuse, they have to make money and the Olympics sells. But the CBC is a state owned black hole for money, they’ve never turned a profit and don’t care if they ever do.
    What’s their excuse? Hmmn?

  14. I guess I just don’t understand why our national broadcaster feels it has to compete with commercial networks and bid for the rights to the Olympics. For that matter, why they have the hockey broadcast franchise also escapes me. Or why they make sitcoms. That aren’t funny. It’s not 1965, and there are more than four channels on the air, and the CBC is trying to be a cable specialty channel and a major network and a news network and God knows what else all at once – all on our dime. It’s 2007, the world has changed – or at least the media landscape has – and there’s no reason to waste public money this way.
    It’s as if the Heritage ministry published books and magazines and newspapers that were supposed to compete with the private sector in Canada AND the U.S., and Canada Post tried to be an internet service provider, and Industry Canada made its own line of computers, software and operating systems. Our government has never been able to recognize the border between the public and private sector, and this mistake is compounding itself at great cost to us.
