There are no mandatory Canadian standards for replacement brake pads, and "it's a huge problem, because what's happening is that we're getting huge amounts of Chinese product dumped into Canada,"

How many defective products are we going to encounter before we realize that we are getting shafted? We need to realize that the only way to get the quality we want is to do it ourselves.

buy cheap = get cheap.. Caveat Emptor

but it would be better to be self sufficient in many things.

lol, guess you don't recall the end of WWII when the west was flooded with cheap crap in every form by Japan - however, today, I won't buy anything produced in China.

Primarily because of their proclivity to include melamine in everything it seems, from baby and pet food to furniture.

So, really, it's no surprise the Chinese are flooding us with cheap, defective, wanting products - after all, we have everything they want.

And, just so you know, I don't recall either. . . .

Counterfeit products are a major revenue for organized crime, along with drugs and the rest. For that reason alone, it must be stopped.
