Just out of curiosity, given your undeniably impressive set of morals, what exactly have you done to improve this situation? Buying local doesn't do squat. I probably don't have to repeat because you are such a good learner, but buying local products won't help 3rd world nations in any way whatsoever. There's a big gap between how the world and economics work, and how you believe them to work.

I don't think of myself as extreme anything unless being right is extreme. I've voted right and left depending on the circumstance.
Who said anything about helping the 3rd world nations? I'm trying to protect local jobs and our own economy by buying Canadian when it's reasonable and getting a better quality product. The 3rd world nations would probably do very well if we didn't conspire against them. In Africa [not that this is their only problem but] you can buy a chicken raised in France cheaper than a locally grown one because of the trade agreements and subsidies. I've posted links about this before but nobody bothered to read them.
