Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

And the PRC always would never lie to us, would it? Nooooooooo……
Nothing is ever as it seems.
Anyone publishing or promoting stuff that is pro-China or tries to mitigate the Wuhan Flu is probably your enemy.
Chinada has a huge trade deficit with China because our governments are full of traitors.
There are no good intentions when it comes to the Chicoms.
Everyone who says otherwise is a threat.
Buddy, your NME, is the canadian politicians and business people who benefit from supporting china and the communists
Not just politicians and business people. Don’t forget your fellow Canadian citizens who continue to purchase cheap, Chinese crap.
Yeah Kate I agree, but the crap is so pervasive, it’s hard to find what you need, if you plan to avoid it. I try, but at times there is no other choice. I’m of the type that would cut off my nose to spite my face if it pissed me off, I would literally spend money to not buy Chinese crap, but at times it ain’t possible. Hopefully we are at last, finally waking up from our collective stupidity of trading with the Chicoms.
Agreed, GerryK. And not everything states country of origin. I see a lot of labels that state “Imported for” or “Imported by” or “Made in Canada with domestic and imported ingredients.”
Alas, trading with the Chicoms is here to stay, unfortunately. Costco had skids of face masks and Walmart had boxes and boxes of them. All made in China, naturally.
@OntarioKate
NO! Not if there are NO other choices. They have the market cornered on many things. I’ve been referring to “cheep Chinese junk” for at least a decade, because everything I buy that’s made there is exactly that.
What about alternatives? There were none. I checked with everything I had to purchase, and there were no alternatives.
If it’s something you can’t do without, then you are forced to buy it. It’s NOT the fault of the victims of the scam that they have no other choice!
GerryK knows what I’m talking about.
I’m not sure why NME666 appears to be criticizing you, when what he writes is included in yours, with which I agree.
But Joe Biden has assured me this is nothing but a Q-Anon conspiracy theory. The CHI-COM virus actually originated in a wet market by people eating bat-soup. Right?
Q-Anon conspiracy theory!
Ontario Kate, first off there are many people can only afford cheap crap, second it’s crap because the business people squeeze the price. This model guarantees that there will always be a market, and it is the walmart effect of importing. Chinese are quite capable of producing quality products, I know because I saw their domestic goods. Also I’v read several article by people who lived over there, and they concur with that sentiment. And then there is my friend who goes to asia , on a regular basis, and he says the same as I do. I find those with the strongest opinions on various topics, are quite often those with the least knowledge on said topic. But yes, if we quit buying made in China, we will quit perpetuating that business model, and empowering China financially.
Fair enough, NME. Change has to begin somewhere so I refuse to purchase anything made in China.
My husband used to travel to Japan frequently on business, and his observation, confirmed by Japanese friends, is that many Chinese people travel to Japan to shop, and not just chasing Western luxury goods (or perhaps luxury goods manufactured in Europe by the Chinese). They look to buy products manufactured in China for the Japanese market, which are though to be superior to products manufactured for their domestic market.
Tamsin, your comment brings to mind a couple of memories from my childhood. The first is of a trinket box in my grandmother’s house. Stamped on the bottom was “Made in Occupied Japan.” I was too young to understand what that meant. The second recollection is of a cartoon in a magazine (The New Yorker?) where two American ladies are shopping and one of them, looking at the bottom of an item states, “Made in the U.S.A. Ugh!” Country of origin means different things to different people, I guess.
BTW, I love your name. It is very old, rare, and beautiful.
“… if we quit buying made in China, we will quit perpetuating that business model, and empowering China financially.” – NME666
Your simplistic thinking ignores the reality. You can not boycott products you need for which there are no competitors. We are being forced to buy junk, because that’s all that’s available, as I’ve written above.
This Plandemic made in Wuhan China this has been one Sick Joke the Chinese, Iran and Russia has pulled on the World to bad all countries don’t shut them out FOREVER from coming to their countries. The CCP, Iran and Russia think they are the cats meow they are sh*t to my thinking!!
