This globalization effects all of us. Trade with our Canadian brothers (in my case real brothers... 2 bros of mine are Canadian Citizens) has always been a bit lopsided but reasonably fair. Sure, we fight about lumber and cattle now and then, but our major Corps work both sides of the border without one side being completely digested. What makes our economy work is not the amount of money there is, but on how fast we circulate it amongst ourselves. The profits from Lenovo are leaving us and winding up as arms for the Chinese. This doesn't help us maintain a vigorous economy. I'm in the same situation as your son, I work in sales. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find North American or European product to represent.
