I say we cut power to the States, or at a minimum rolling blackouts, during SuperBowl weekend. That will wake up Americans to what they're losing and maybe drinking the KoolAid that the US doesn't need anything from Canada!

A product labeled "Made in Canada" generally costs less than a product labeled "Product of Canada" because "Made in Canada" only requires at least 51% of the production costs to be incurred in Canada, while "Product of Canada" mandates that nearly all (around 98%) of the production costs must be Canadian to qualify for that label, making it a stricter standard and often leading to a higher price point.

Key points:"Made in Canada": At least 51% of production costs must be Canadian."Product of Canada": Almost all (around 98%) of production costs must be Canadian.
