Dangerous food in Canada,

Foodstuff:  this is part of an e mail from my friend Debra...rather than pass on some questionable propaganda I went to the freezer and took out a package of  seaquest skinless,boneless wild sole filet's.
Extremely small print tells me that this is a product marketed by Lablaws/Product of China. In even smaller print the package/wrapper also tells me that :This Product comes from a fishery that has been independently certified to the marine stewardship councils standard for a well managed fishery www.msc.org     how reassuring.

 back to the e mail from Deb:

I know that some fish that says "a product of Canada" is caught there, shipped to China where it is cleaned, gutted and frozen and sent back to Canada, then sent to the USA for sale, that fish has been around.....and you thought you were buying a Canadian product which you are but processed in the Orient what for I don't know ! ! !
The imported food we eat, and junk we buy..(Just an eye opener)
Please read this very carefully , and read to the very bottom. It's important for all of us.

How is it possible to ship food from China cheaper -- than having it produced in Canada or at least the U.S.? 
 

ALL "HIGH LINER" AND MOST OTHER FROZEN FISH PRODUCTS COME FROM CHINA OR INDONESIA. THE PACKAGE MAY SAY "PACIFIC SALMON" ON THE FRONT, BUT LOOK FOR THE SMALL PRINT. MOST OF THESE PRODUCTS COME FROM FISH FARMS IN THE ORIENT AND THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS ON WHAT IS FED TO THESE FISH.

Recently a Montreal Gazette had an article by the Canadian Government about how Chinese feed the fish. They suspend the chicken wire crates over the fish ponds, and the fish feed on chicken shit! Canadian Government recommended and stressed NOT to buy any type of fish imported from China. If you search the internet about what the Chinese feed their fish you'll be alarmed, e.g. growth hormones, expired anti-biotics from humans etc., and never buy any type of fish or shellfish that comes from these countries...Vietnam China, Philippines. Check this out personally.  

Next to them were President Choice brand. Product of Canada!! The PC went into my grocery bag.

While the Chinese, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in North American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the Harper Government or Obama Administration for perceived errors.
Yet 70% of North Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended!!

Well, duh. Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?

SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF CANADA

Simply look on the bottom of every food product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China'  just leave it alone...

You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.
THINK ABOUT THIS,

If 200 million North Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favour...fast!!

The downside? Some Canadian/American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.

Just one month of trading losses, will hit the Chinese for 8% of their North American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.

START NOW and don't stop.

Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are intelligent Canadians/Americans.

If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!
