Side swipe only....

It amazes me.

I guess when McDonalds serves Canadian Bacon on the Egg McMuffin I might be
surprised to find out that Canadian Bacon comes from North Carolina and
Arkansas too.

We now have authentic Mexican Salsa from NY City
Champagne from Napa
Italian San Marsano Tomatos that are Product of Canada
Parma Ham of Canada
Spanish Olives from _________.

I am sorry but this really is getting out of control.

Nothing anti canadian was intended here. Sorry.
