That's at the ****ing commercial level, I don't deal in that ****.
Do you have any idea what they thread is about? I didn't think so.

Yes, I sure do. It appears some poor sucker paid too much for a cheap
lathe from some crook who CLAIMS to be Canadian, and has not recieved
it yet. Might never recieve it.
Problem is, if this guy is who/what I think he is, he can pull the
same stunt from your side of the border, as his "native rights" exist
both in Canada and the US, and nailing him will be a chellenge.

This is no reason to denigrate all Canadians - a few bad apples do not
make us all crooks, any more than a philandering jack-ass of a (past)
president and a sadly misguided (present) president make all
Americans morons and diddlers.

Wake up and smell the coffee.
