I now see where you were going but that is not how I read it at first. I believe in international trade however our domestic manufacturing (Canada and US) cannot possibly compete when we have all kinds of environmental, safety, financial, etc etc rules and regulations to follow, rules that simply do not exist in China.
One difference between Canada and the US is that we have not been running big deficits until this year so the Chinese don't own lots of Canadian debt. Wal Mart, et al, import all kinds of Chinese crap up here just like they do in the US but China buys lots of our natural resources so we don't have the trade imbalance like you do. Basically, I hate the ba$tard$.
I do like good Chinese food however.
