Abandoned Stuff by Saskboy

Since before the last election, Stephen Harper was going on and on about a Made in Canada solution to deal with greenhouse gases. That mantra has fallen down since he revealed he doesn’t really care about greenhouse gases or air pollution, but the point is he wanted a solution that we made. It would be ours, and in theory it would be best. Well, people who know what he really meant, was that he wanted a Made in America solution to greenhouse gas emissions, and he has been working on implementing it since he came to power.

Now he’s made the mistake of fixing Canada’s (food) labeling law. This change requires that products with “Made in Canada” or “Product of Canada” are actually mostly Canadian in origin and content. If he doesn’t relabel his “Made in Canada” pollution strategy to “Made in USA”, will he be violating his own law?

Seriously, the food law is a good change. I just had to bug him about his “Made in Canada” crap he’s fed us before. The King of Carbon has a lot of experience with the poop slinging. When he’s not insulting Canada, he does a fine job of saying every other country’s government with a carbon tax is just out for a cash grab.

I encountered a plastic jar of oranges in a Superstore and it said “Product of Canada” on it. Really; Oranges grown in Canada? Harper’s law may not stop Westfair Foods from importing canned peaches from South Africa (when perfectly good ones are grown as close as Penn. state even, but it will stop the kind of BS that would lead a company to be so audacious as to put “Product of Canada” on a jar of oranges. What’s next, Product of Canada coconuts? I know global warming is coming, but we aren’t quite that hot yet.

For more things to make your skin crawl, imagine this fellow as a male stripper. Backstreet’s Back, Alright! If the former Backstreet Boys producer repays $1 Million, he gets a month off his jail sentence; I like it.
