I think an MP is more likely to do something if the complaints are coming directly from their constituents. So my advise to you EmilyB, is to e-mail your MP cc yor MLA, the Minister or health, the Prime Minister ect... and ask your friends to do the same. You can get these e-mail addresses by surfing around on the Government of Canada's web site. Your MLA's will obviously be on your privincial site. I think this will get you much further than a personal boycot.

I agree totally and you are right, this is something I CAN do. Of course, the boycott is for personal safety of myself and those around me. I can still try to reduce the risk by not purchasing made in China when I have a choice.

Man, I'm so old I still remember when it used to read Made in Hongkong....

Emily I would never consider buying anything that I would eat that was made in China nor would I consider buying fish food or food for my other pets.
I make a point of telling the shops that I would prefer to see Canadian or US products and products from other countries that I can trust.
