As I see the media report on what is going on with China and a bunch of other countries, I just have to shake my head as to why people go there in person to conduct business.

Most of us do business with China almost everyday. Look at the labels on the products you buy.

The people who go over there to sell and transport drugs deserve to be locked up. As for businessmen who go there, what were they thinking? Have they not heard of the internet or, for that matter, inviting your Chinese investors here where it’s safe and orderly to do business?

Canada is a very young country as far as the world and history is concerned and we need to grow up and take care of ourselves and quit relying on the U.S. and China as suppliers. There’s a reason there is a shop local movement.
