[GTALUG] Linux and Stereo Speaker Cables

[Alvin Starr]

Canada had a pretty good audio industry going back quite a ways.

Radio Speakers of Canada was old when I was young but they seem to be 
long gone now.
They made some pretty good speakers in Ontario but they never had quite 
the sex appeal of Bose or Lansing.

My guess is that NAFTA and production in China made sure Canadian 
production was killed off.

So as much as Harper screwed science in Canada I doubt that he killed 
off the loudspeaker industry.
