Would probably cost 300$ if it was made in Canada as opposed to $70.

Should Toronto Maple Leaf jerseys be made in Toronto? New York Yankees in New York?

The sad thing is that the poor fellow who made it probably makes $5/day.

You can say that again.

But that's the truth about the world I guess. How many ppl go to the DOLLAR STORE ? Guess who makes those things and how much they get paid.

Yes, yes. Local is better.

I'm more ticked at companies charging $70 for something that could cost $5 in materials, plus a few bucks in labour.

[warpdrive]

I think it's equally stupid that some of our athletes that are marked Team Canada were actually made in other countries.

Not to mention that trade quotas with China have been pretty much all abolished, therefore this leads to more of an influx of "Made in China" items.
