Joe Canadian

Thursday, October 13, 2005


I received the following in a forward from a friend:
_____________________________________________

Joe Canadian started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6am. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying CANADIAN job to replace his job at Wal-Mart (MADE IN USA). At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in CANADA.

I wonder if he ever went to ALBERTA, where he might discover how we supply the primary goods for all of these manufacturers?

Well at least if he was listening to the radio or watching TV he would have heard at least 35% Canadian content and watched at least 60%. :)
