Polaris may be based in Minnesota, but Victory bikes are built right here in Spirit Lake, Iowa. Each year they have a Victory rally and factory tour.

Every single one of these is demonstratably, unequivocally wrong. Totally 100% fabricated.

Taiwan and China, actually, but there is still some Japanese content. Canadian, too.
Chinese parts? Now that's scary!

It's a global economy and as such it is almost impossible to find anything 100% "Made in Canada" or "Made in the USA" anymore.
Yup and auto manufacturers don't even use the term "Made in" anymore. Now it's basically "Final Assembly". For example, an Acura MDX has an engine made in USA, tranny made in Japan, and Final Assembly done in Ontario, Canada.

And even then is it just American assembled. So much of our food is actually manufactured or grown in other countries. When you look at the labels in the grocery store it is amazing how much isn't made here.
Ya gottta read the labels.....
Most of what I buy is either grown or made in Canada.....

You are as anti-American as they come. Also schooled by mentally challenged kangaroos apparently. Put down the Fosters mate, ya don't have a "fookin" clue what you're talking about. Typical anti-american liberal Eurotrash mentally challenged speak. I don't see thousands of people trying to swim to Australia for a chance at a better life...

That's because Cuba is not 90 miles from Australia.

I hear ya on made in Canada. I actually grew up in Keremeos and lived in Penticton for years before moving home to Oregon. And when you grow up in the fruit stand capital of the world all other fruit pales in comparison. Let me tell you California grown fruit has nothing on Okanagan fruit. Sigh, I miss real peaches.
