sounds like un-educated American's don't like when Canadians come and spend their money on our stuff.

Ha. We pay about $5-8/kg for chicken breasts. If you go to a butcher that has a decent poultry selection, you might only pay $3-6/kg

if I know what I am talking about (I don't think I have this right..), aren't we already buying American stuff even if it's on our side of the border? All that's added is import taxes and stuff like that to the price. So if you live near the border it's pretty stupid to actually spend here if you can be getting it really cheap over the border.

Oh yeah but then again, people value their time sitting around doing nothing rather than going places lol
