   TV news reports are now indicating that the former trickle of shoppers going   
   to the USA because of fantastically better prices, has now become a flood.   
      
   With Christmas shopping starting now, with less than 60 days to the Christmas   
   holidays, Canadian retailers, especially those trying to peddle their   
   overpriced cars, boats, skidoos, electronics, clothing, and you name it,   
   are now getting really scared.   
      
   Their impending bankruptcies loom ever closer, as they see huge line-up at   
   border crossings.   
      
   When cars in the USa cost $10,000 to $60,000 LESS than in price fixing Canada,   
   of course people are going to buy where it benefits the buyers.   
      
   Loaded top of the line trucks and SUVs can have a saving of $30,000 to $60,000   
   on the top end models, and Canuck dealers refuse to lower their prices,   
   driving more and more customers to shop across the broder, for ALL their   
   Christmas shopping.   
      
   When crooked Canadian firms like Bombardier then instruct their US dealers to   
   swindle Canadian buyers, they deserve the growing BOYCOTT.   
      
   When Amazon.ca charges almost DOUBLE for a Canadian book, in Canada,   
   than what they charge when bought from Amazon.com, then their Canadian   
   operation deserves to be BOYCOTTED.   
      
   Now, many cities in the USA are starting to organise Christmas shopping   
   packages, to entice even more Canadians to spend their money in the   
   welcoming USA.   
      
   Las Vegas and Reno Nevada have long had discount packages to bring them   
   Canadians.   
      
   Now Seattle and Bellingham in Washington state are doing likewise, and even   
   Great Falls Montana is starting to get organised for a massive influx of   
   Canadian shoppers.   
      
   On the east coast, communities in New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire are   
   also encouraging Canadians to buy everything they want in the USA, at   
   drastically lower prices than in Canada.   
      
   To all those gouging businesses in Canada, when you go bankrupt at Christmas   
   time, do not expect any sympathy, because you do not deserve any, even if you   
   do increase the unemployment rolls with your unemployed staffers.   
      
   If some of the groups co-ordinating shopping package tours from Canada to the   
   USA want even more happy customers, let all of us know, by posting your names,   
   locations, and special deals - to the newsgroups.
