Nice cant wait for it to open,will be an emotional day.
Thank you for your service and dedication Paul. Will be thinking of you and others who served and lost when the tower opens.
So was this made in Canada??
No, it was just shipped from Canada.
It was made in Russia. Parts were from China. Labor was from Africa.
So, "we're" not back. We just went further in debt for 11 years so other countries could make it look like we're back. Oh, Canada...!
