Why? Have you never heard of OEM?

The labels are printed locally, slapped on while crossdocking from sea cans to Canadian Tire trucks.

It cuts BC out. Seacans come straight off the ship, dropped on rail and are cracked open in Regina by CBSA.

Go down to CT and look at boxes that have product details glued on the box.

Still an extra overhead cost. Even if you pay the labellers minimum wage, one language should suffice.

Did you bother to research the OEM process?

OEM (pronounced as separate letters) is short for original equipment manufacturer. ... OEMs are not actually the "original manufacturer" of the equipment, but are actually a company who has a relationship with the original manufacture to resell that manufacturer's product under its own name and branding.

OEM specs and licensing for sure. These days things like brakes are farmed out or ordered off the shelf.

The same caliper can be found on several different brands of vehicle.

What are you, schizophrenic? Were you not one of the ones that wants First Nations language also recognized as an official language in Canada?

Come and get us.

Time for you to your state alliegance to your country, or go back to the Steppe. You wouldn't be the first sort-of Canadian immigrant family who didn't believe in your country. It is a problem in certain places. They like that goodies that came with immigration to Canada, then they turn around and bite us, ungrateful wretches.

Love it or leave it.

I believe in local official unilingualism. For example, it might be English in a predominantly English-speaking community, French in a predominantly French-speaking community, Inuktitut in a predominantly Inuktitut-speaking community, etc. with maybe some extra help for the local indigenous language in the form of funding for curriculum development and resource-development.

I see no point in French having an official status in most of BC for example any more than English in Roberval for example. That's just one big waste of money. There is no reason why a Canadian company should not be able to import a US product into Canada and then just sell it retail with English and maybe Spanish labeling and packaging. There is no reason why a Quebec company should not be able to import a product from France and just sell it retail in its original packaging in just French if no English is present, for example.

No problem to state an allegiance while simultaneously letting the Eastern bastards freeze in the dark.

By the by, to what nation were you suggesting that allegiance be stated?

Love it or leave it.

You are also an avowed traitor. There have been times in out or history when your statements would have been enough to have you thrown in prison. We've gotten soft with traitors .. for now, anyway. If people like you gained enough momentum to be an actual existential threat to this country, both you and your little dog Petros may end up interned during some future time.

It's interesting how while Hasegawa Teru as a woman bravely committed treason against the Japanese Empire, most Japanese men and even soldiers were too cowardly to follow her lead. It's interesting to note how while Sophie Scholl, her brother, and many other members of the White Rose bravely committed treason against the Third Reich, most Germans, men and even soldiers included, didn't have the balls to follow their lead.

Treason has a proud history.

Treason is treason and mostly, it has a sordid history of betrayal and failure.
