Of course I've heard of them. But if you saw a "Made in Canada" as the
country of origin,
the dealer doesn't say it was made in a foreign country. They'd say it
was made in Canada.
BTW, the media is now referring to Obama's trip to Canada as his first
"overseas" trip as President. >> Stay informed about: Speaking of Obama's Canadian visit................... |

Obama's trip this week WAS his first trip to a foreign country as
president.
Vehicles manufactured in Canada DON'T bear a US company "name
plate"....whatever that is.
BTW, since when ARE the media the paragons of correct speak...or is
that your point? >> Stay informed about: Speaking of Obama's Canadian visit................... |
