They probably do use Chinese made parts though.

They should quit their BS marketing then. I fully understand not wanting to buy stuff from the US, a fascist shithole. But buying stuff from China, a (at least currently) much worse fascist shithole (not sure how much worse the US will get) is not a solution. What we need are European/Canadian alternatives. Isn't that (at least the former subject) the whole point of this community?

China is not worse than america, and hasnt been for a while now. There is very good propaganda to make you think so though.

They literally have a dictator. Before this election they were 100% worse than US. Now they're only like 50% worse.

A one-party system is not worse than America? What world are you living in?

As a Canadian, I trust China more than murica. I may not trust China 100%, and I certainly disagree with China's Taiwan ambitions, but with murica, i have ZERO trust. Conclusion: murica needs to be isolated and destroyed.

For Canada at least only 2 of those 3 are threatening our sovereignty
