  1. Another pin in Canada’s side.

    Some more of this will wake ’em up. The US could eventually get 9 more states and 3 territories. Quebec is problematic – it has established French as the official language of the province. Pres.

  2. My Scots boss pulled her Canadian division out quick as she bought us in the US.

  3. Canadian car part manufactures were looking to buy existing businesses in the U.S. or incorporate south of the border the day Trump got elected.

  4. I had some of that particleboard junk when I was young and poor; a TV stand with glass doors, and a small bookcase. All that glue is heavy, dang stuff weighed a ton. It got left behind the first time I moved.

  5. I’m not going to knock particle board. It did the trick during my younger days when I need I needed it to, was inexpensive when I couldn’t afford anything more solid, and most of it lasted far longer than I thought it would. I still have some pieces that I use.

    Classic capitalism: identify a need and build a product that fulfills that need; things far left liberals don’t seem to understandd. During this political climate, Prepac belongs in the US instead of Canada.
