Ed Cleveland et al !

    I went shopping for some clothes some time back and asked the
    attendant if he had any Canadian made clothes..To my utter
    amazement, he said "NO", and he hadn't any home made articles, he
    only had items that were made off-sore. This also deals with
    jewellery and other precious items, pity. Look how many jobs have
    been lost to this new way of marketing or selling. WE must understand
    that other countries are now doing what we were doing, so many years
    ago, but for less money in manufacturing. 

    Wake up Western World, it ain't the same anymore as your parents.
    Accept reality. 

    I was at a Toronto jewellery show last August and saw a company
    selling "Canadian Diamonds" with very nice designs. I asked the local
    salesman which Canadian company was making them? He replied that
    these Canadian Diamonds were set and mount manufactured in a South
    Asian country and made cheaper than any company on our shores can 
    make. The world IS CHANGING ! ...Gerry!
