Yeah, the buy American is a joke.It's not just at Walmart either. I've been trying to find some blue jeans made here and so far no luck. A search for any products made here has been relatively fruitless. Everything we used to make here has been shipped elsewhere.

I don't want to dis any of my Canadian brothers and sisters either. I haul freight both ways across the border, and understand how much trade means to both countries. I can't find many Canadian goods here either. Of course there is beer, which I do my best to consume as much as possible in my off time, but surely beer can't make up all the trade. Maybe a little pea meal bacon sometime? I can't find it here either.

The whole problem comes down to slave labor, and we not only have to stand up to these other countries, we have to stand up to the corporations who are behind it, and let them know in no uncertain terms, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
