My husband's best friend has a shelf filled with 60's Canadian Tonka trucks. The best running old Dodge van we used on the farm was built in canada. Perhaps he can go live there after the 2012 election. But that too has alot to do with free trade with our neighbors. I suspect the Daimlerchrystler corp. and canadian workers are happy about that.
Just to add a few facts.
. . .The feds bought the two coaches for $2.2 million from Hemphill Brothers Coach, based in Tennessee. It installed custom interior upgrades into the Prevost shell, which accounted for about half the cost. The contract lists the country of origin as Canada and place of manufacture as “outside U.S. – Trade Agreements,” a possible reference to the North American Free Trade Agreement. Hemphill wouldn’t comment on the bus. But an ad on its Web site for a similar bus costing $100,000 less than what has been dubbed “Greyhound One” boasts: “This coach is appointed with the finest materials and the latest in high tech electronics and was built for a top entertainer to travel efficiently without losing the luxuries of home. . .
More It's not half as bad as we are asked to believe. Closer to one quarter or less.
