[proud American in Canada]

If you know any Canadians or others who would be interested in this, please pass it along.

I want people to know that the average Canadian feels very upset about this. They support the Americans and are upset about the fact that apparently Quebec has a veto power over Canadian foreign policy.

Canada ping...

[Righty_McRight]

The loony leftists aside, average Canadians are upset with the Liberal government and very, very concerned that this decision is going to directly impact them in the pocketbook, given that 80% of Canadian exports are sold to the U.S. market and that tourism here depends heavily on American visitors.

The senate voted today to continue the ban on canadian beef.

DH, you were mentioned in a national Canadian newspaper!

Your Freeper essay was also discussed on talk radio here.

Canadians are very concerned and upset with Martin's decision.

[Truth29]

Any Canadians in a position to comment on the passivity of the Conservatives?

[JerseyHighlander]

pAiC, did the paper reprint just DH's essay, or also the web addy of the essay? Did they reprint the comments?

DH, goodness you've created quite a storm, good on ya. Also, I passed your website onto my friend who own's the fabrication welding shop, he's looking into your catalog of equipment. I hope my comments didn't get posted in a national Canadian newspaper...

I was all set to say some very nasty things about the Canadians but reading the replies here I won't. I feel sad for them.

Don't worry Canada we'll save your butts if a nuke shows up in your sky, after all some 3 year old in Vancouver didn't make such a dumb decision.

But that proud strong ally that forced its way ashore in Normandy is obviously gone. Such a shame. There's a lesson for Americans there I hope we learn.

[reagan_fanatic]

I've never understood why a certain percentage of Canadians hate America so much anyway. No other country in the World benefits from a geographical neighbor as much as Canada does from the U.S.

Perhaps these malcontents would feel better if Canada bordered Russia, North Korea or China.

Since the Post published the article I have received hundreds of emails and over 150 phone calls.

I was shocked when the ratio of sincere Canadians who were conservative and agreed with what I was doing outnumbered the liberals and fruitcakes about 9 to 1.

In both emails and phone calls, two words kept coming up over and over again. The words ASHAMED and EMBARRASSED!

We thought we had it bad with the Clintons, these conservatives are living in hell!

I saw your screen names and thought you might be interested in this--discussing the reaction of Canadians to Martin's decision.

[proud American in Canada]

Well, I've been ignoring my kids while working on this post :) so I will take a break from the computer for a while and check back later.

[Highest Authority]

I guess that, now, Canadians are beginning to see why their government wants to take away their guns! Unarmed people are not citizens, they are subjects!

[ken5050]

Excellent synopis..thanks..Is Harper perhaps heeding the old political maxim to leave your opponent alone when he's busy committing suiciode?

[Billthedrill]

It certainly caught this pro-Canadian American by surprise. It may very well be that all those trade issues are involved, but if so it's customary to give some indication that that's the case or the action is useless.

Clarification, I am sure, is forthcoming, whether the decision is rescinded or not. I would hope that it wasn't merely a sop to the notoriously short-sighted Quebecois. Criticizing the U.S. for acting in a unilateral fashion is fine, but then forcing us to do so makes no sense at all.

[spodefly]

BTTT

[Ditto]

Is he, like Martin, aiming to appease Quebec?

You can't possibly appease Quebec ... you can try, but no matter what you give, they will always demand more.

I suggest that when we build the antimissile shield, we simply leave Quebec on the other side of it. No point in wasting a perfectly good missile to knock down an North Korean ICBM headed for a political wasteland.

Today, my company ceased sales to Canada.
Personal | 2/28/05 | DH


Posted on 02/28/2005 5:21:05 AM PST by DH


Today, I made a major decision not to sell our manufactured products into Canada.

We are a small Corporation that invents, manufactures, and sells unique electronic controls to the welding industry. Our market is narrow since our products apply to specifically American made welding machinery and few applications exist external to the US. I am the majority stockholder and President of the company.

It is uncommon to sell outside the bounds of the US but we do get inquires and orders from external countries. This morning I received an email requesting one of our catalogs along with a request for technical assistance pertaining to an American made machine located in Quebec.

As I read the email something swept over me. It kept gnawing at me for about an hour before I knew what it was. The answer came to me…it was a request from an individual in a country that hated Americans and all that it stood for, asking for technical assistance and requesting information on our uniquely American products that are not available nor manufactured in Canada. The products and assistance would greatly enhance this Canadian’s ability to save on the cost of repairs to his equipment and provide technical assistance he was apparently unable to receive in his own country.

Over the past few years I have rejected sales from French Canadians and now I expand this to the whole of Canada. As of today, no technical information will be given to Canadians and no sales will be made to Canadians until their hate for Americans and our way of life changes. I expect Hell will freeze over before this happens. They are in a headlong race for total Socialism, if not downright communism.

Now, this may not be earth-shaking news and what I do will certainly not even raise an eyebrow on a national basis, but what I do is the only way that I can fight them since our politicians and large American Corporations are “financial prostitutes” and will sell away the American way of life and the freedoms (those that still exist) to anyone (or any country) that will pay them for their pandering, regardless as to how small the amount.

My company website has the phrase “Made in Texas by Texans” on the home page and it has been there for years. Now I will be placing a notice that we do not sell to Canada and the reasons thereof.

Some may think this as a stupid idea since I will lose some sales. Like I said, they don’t amount to much anyway and the idea that I can irritate and inconvenience individual Canadians by refusing to sell to them along with providing them the reasons for doing so lets them know that at least one American is standing up and doing the only patriotic thing they can do to stave off the impending damage that Canada will do to our society, our freedoms and our security. Yes, I am aware that is not the textbook way of doing business.

I realize that this is a tiny, teeny, itty-bitty, miniscule, microscopic action that no one will notice except the recipient of my direct action but if many small corporations and small sole proprietorships (Ma and Pa businesses) who sell a very small percentage of their gross services or wares into Canada and can afford a small reduction in gross sales, will unite and refuse to sell to Canada, a major statement can be made. As each Canadian who is refused service or sales from America is affected, they will become annoyed enough to tell their associates and friends. In turn, over a period of time, they all will get the message.

Don’t expect the prostitutes to help, only little people can!

[proud American in Canada]

one shameless self-bump before logging off for the night. :)

[LowInMo]

Yeah--Right

We are supposed to believe that most Canadians are opposed to this issue. Just as we are supposed to believe that "most Canadians" are opposed to every other issue that they stab us in the back on. They are only interested in our money. Period. I say "Screw the dam Canucks". I have had it up to here with their dam socialist leanings and then their apologies. Get someone such as France or Germany to defend them and cancel ALL imports into the U.S., including Islamist Hijackers.
