Today, I made a major decision not to sell our manufactured products into Canada.
We are a small Corporation that invents, manufactures, and sells unique electronic controls to the welding industry. Our market is narrow since our products apply to specifically American made welding machinery and few applications exist external to the US. I am the majority stockholder and President of the company.
It is uncommon to sell outside the bounds of the US but we do get inquires and orders from external countries. This morning I received an email requesting one of our catalogs along with a request for technical assistance pertaining to an American made machine located in Quebec.
As I read the email something swept over me. It kept gnawing at me for about an hour before I knew what it was. The answer came to me…it was a request from an individual in a country that hated Americans and all that it stood for, asking for technical assistance and requesting information on our uniquely American products that are not available nor manufactured in Canada. The products and assistance would greatly enhance this Canadian’s ability to save on the cost of repairs to his equipment and provide technical assistance he was apparently unable to receive in his own country.
Over the past few years I have rejected sales from French Canadians and now I expand this to the whole of Canada. As of today, no technical information will be given to Canadians and no sales will be made to Canadians until their hate for Americans and our way of life changes. I expect Hell will freeze over before this happens. They are in a headlong race for total Socialism, if not downright communism.
Now, this may not be earth-shaking news and what I do will certainly not even raise an eyebrow on a national basis, but what I do is the only way that I can fight them since our politicians and large American Corporations are “financial prostitutes” and will sell away the American way of life and the freedoms (those that still exist) to anyone (or any country) that will pay them for their pandering, regardless as to how small the amount.
My company website has the phrase “Made in Texas by Texans” on the home page and it has been there for years. Now I will be placing a notice that we do not sell to Canada and the reasons thereof.
Some may think this as a stupid idea since I will lose some sales. Like I said, they don’t amount to much anyway and the idea that I can irritate and inconvenience individual Canadians by refusing to sell to them along with providing them the reasons for doing so lets them know that at least one American is standing up and doing the only patriotic thing they can do to stave off the impending damage that Canada will do to our society, our freedoms and our security. Yes, I am aware that is not the textbook way of doing business.
I realize that this is a tiny, teeny, itty-bitty, miniscule, microscopic action that no one will notice except the recipient of my direct action but if many small corporations and small sole proprietorships (Ma and Pa businesses) who sell a very small percentage of their gross services or wares into Canada and can afford a small reduction in gross sales, will unite and refuse to sell to Canada, a major statement can be made. As each Canadian who is refused service or sales from America is affected, they will become annoyed enough to tell their associates and friends. In turn, over a period of time, they all will get the message.
Don’t expect the prostitutes to help, only little people can!
Thanks much, Grampa Dave. It's a good idea to put DH's original post in this thread.
And as for this sentence:
"I realize that this is a tiny, teeny, itty-bitty, miniscule, microscopic action that no one will notice"
Hmmm. I'm not so sure that this was a tiny, teeny action that no one will notice. ;) Seems to me this was the shot heard 'round the North American continent. :)
At least I HOPE SO! :)
