Unc, may I recommend a great Canadian author who's works you will find at any Chapters outlet. River Of Thieves and Newfoundland: A Journey Into A Lost Nation are two of his more famous books.

IMO, to promote a Buy Canadian attitude will not do anything to help the country. A while ago we were squawking about protectionist leanings in the U.S. Now you're suggesting we pull the same stuff here?

I guess I was wondering if your appeal to "buy Canadian" was to other countries.
Or - an attempt to stir up loyalty to Canadian products from within.

For example, I have never read a Canadian book (that I know of). Why would I buy a book from Canada? I am a bit of a collector and have thousands of books,
almost all British (I do love the Brits) and American. Generally, my books are published in the US, even if they are written by someone foreign, i.e., Ken Follett.

Why would you ask why would I buy a book from Canada???? I think that shows a lack of intellegence on your part. Read Pierre Burtons books. That are all a great read and you might be enlightened.

I'm going to take this one over the edge and see if I can hang on.

Finget about money and finances for a second and imagine a fairy tale world of witches and knights. The knights control the world and the witches don't, but want to. So the witches get a plan the send the knights oil that will brighten their armour, but as they make the oil they instill into the oil intent. This intent in in the from of a cure of negativity, same as some would ask for positivity for a friend, or self. After the the knights oil their armour, the knights start to become fearful. Not all at once, a little at a time, and eventually over the decades the witches do take over.

Now, you can laugh all you want, but if you get out of your cities and travel around our own country, you will see this going on. Hell, you might even see it in your own workplace now that you know what you are looking for.

It is happening on a Global scale. People are being beaten down and don't know how, or why. The major symptom is sickness, of one kind or another, mental of physical. If we didn't have health care this country would have been emptied out a long time ago.

And NO. I don't watch Harry Potter or play dragon games or video games. I look and I see things that are happening - For real.

Have you read "Airport" by Arthur Halley. The author, who was born in Britain, wrote his first three novels while he still lived in Canada. A lot of Canadian authors move to the U.S. but some don't. Pierre Berton wrote dozens of great historical novels. Farley Mowat is another. The Movie "Never cry Wolf" was based on the book by Farley Mowat. There are many others.

In this country, we file the books by the author's name. Could I have it? Also, is it fiction? Thanks. I have written it down. BTW, I never heard of Chapters. I get thousands of books free for my charities. My latest one is Paperbacks for Troops.

Funny thing about that. We do the same here. I think it's called the Dewey system. The author is Michael Crummy.

You have a bad attitude. As for being a genius, I seriously doubt it. What is your problem? Nevermind, I don't care...

Bury your nose in your book as the World crashes around you. And don't ask why it is happening to me, because I already told you.

Bad attitude my A$$.

He wasn't talking to you but responding to Risus.

What you are talking about involves metaphysics, which is probably over most people's heads. Your observations on the situation and their causes are rather simplistic. Although Canada is being bombarded with negative energy, as is the rest of the world, pinning it to disgruntle workers is rather a narrow view. The causes are much greater and broader than that.

Would you consider a TV whose parts are made in several other nations and only bolted together in Canada a Canadian product?

I think that is true, but the dominent force is the workers. The higher ups can make the plan, but due to Karma (which is closly related) they have the workers do the actual dirty work. Then they can sit and reap the profits and enjoy the power given to them by the humbly brain washed workers. The negativity of the karma all goes to the workers not the bosses. Sadest part of the whole thing is that the workers likely do not understand themselves what they are being manipulated to do. The just look ignorant foreign bigots to us, as we do to them.

From my point of view in this thread I would have to say that the item should be classed be the country where the most actual "hands on" work was done.

Every morning you leave the comfort of your home and enter into an 8 hr dictatorship. Prior to Magna Carta the peasants were required to give 2 months of servitude to the Lord who took care of the peasants needs in exchange for work.

When we weren't "free" we gave two months. Under this alleged freedom we now work 6 months to pay the taxman. Where is the gain and where is this alleged "freedom"?

Oh nice....all the non-technical stuff is Canadian made. Any idiot can grow and hew a tree.

This wasn't about technical stuff it was about what is Canadian made.

Btw, you can cut down a tree and weave wool to make a couch?

Impressive.:lol:

I am going to have to say this.

As it is almost too late for the country to get the industry back in a timely manner, people are safest to learn to cleanse the propducts they buy of the negative energy. I have been informed that this topic falls under the metaphysical and is over most peoples heads, but is a great danger to everyone.

I made a wall statement to one member to demonstrate the theory. I noticed he wore a hat in his photo, so I asked him to exchange hats. I am sure all people are familiar with the fact that a change of hats brings a slight change in attitude. Each hat is likely made by a different person and each hat has a different energy associated with it. It is the same with everything we bring close to us.

Also, this is not to say that buying Canadian is nessesarilly the best. If the woman sewing your bed sheets is a woman is a serial killer, or is having an incestous relationship, I recommend not sleeping in those sheets, until that energy has been cleared out to your liking. The thing of buying Canadian is that a Canadian maker will hopefully have less resentment towards other Canadian due to lifestyle and labour conditions therefore the energy will less negative. But crazy people hold down jobs too, so be aware.
