In all honesty to get back to that level of Canadian Made we would need a third world war where we realize we need to make things ourself and world war 2 level effort of Canadian made to do it.

And that is the sad part, that we have gotten so far away from it, that this what you say, is the reality.

Chicken Lights, yes, in the modern world, foreign trade may be well impossible to do without.

However, the key is to align essentials to domestic, and convenience to foreign, to what level is practical and sustainable.

Less domestic impact when the world goes upside down in panic, similar to the current circumstances. This will be a good warm up, where people might learn what is essential, and what is convenience (but they will forget again, most surely). This means not just goods, but services, as well. There might be another forum where to discuss that, in greater depth.

With the Canadian Loonie being where it is; it suddenly makes a lot more sense to have things made in Canada.

Anything made outside of Canada is about to get much more expensive.

The joys of global trade. Unfortunately you only see the downfall of globalization and international trade when borders start to close.

Read "The undercover Economist" by Tim Harford. He's really good at explaining global trade in layman's term and one chapter will explain very well why things like "We need to sell more than we buy" are impossible in the long term. It's only about 300 pages, not very long to read. Very well written.

Thanks for doing what you are doing Brian. Brass is consistent in great shape and easy to load.

Your post should resonate with Canadian ammunition buyers. Support you Canadian firearms businesses, as much as possible. Sometimes we might have to go elsewhere for unique parts/items/ammo. I don't think the ammo manufacturer's in Canada will be able to crack into the Com Block firearms bulk surplus ammo market as it's just too cheap, but the prices of their .45 ACP, .223 Rem and .308 Win is pretty good and their brass is easier to reload than the surplus stuff, in my experience. Even if you don't reload, you can sell your brass on the EE
