Don't see the big deal. Did you like the product before you found out where it was made?

I agree^^ but I also agree that I would much rather have an American made product on an American Jeep. Some cases the country of origin won't affect anything physically, I just like the thought of knowing I'm supporting American manufacturing and not digging us deeper into the pit of Chinese manufacturing

Anyone watch that episode of Top Gear where they showed those new Chinese cars? Five years ago they were making bicycles and tricycles with motors, and now they are making cars that are "almost" as functional as European or American cars

And? Proudly Canadian or American made left me disappointed on more than one occasion. Geographic location plays no role in the quality of the item or my decision making. We want to save, so businesses are forced to import. It's unfortunate but we made it this way.
