@Dante, well according to your logic the USA should stop buying most everything from everywhere because they run nothing but trade deficits. Quid pro quo is a simple mans solution. If you didn't buy a TV from China or Korea, are you going to buy one made in Canada ? Where are you going to find that and at what price? What about Japan, they invest in car plants here but buy very little from us otherwise, so that's OK? How much did the Gov't of Canada & ON invest in the Japanese car plants to provide over rated jobs? Which by the way are now "contract" positions.
It's simpletons like you who don't get it. Why don't we have any fruit canners or TV mfg. in Canada anymore? Because folks like you want wages beyond your capabilities(worldly competitive) and worth but you will buy product from off shore to save a quarter, you're hypocrites and Wal-Mart shoppers. 
I've been trading on world markets for longer than you can count and you wouldn't know business if it ran you over.
