Coming up on Cross Country Checkup....

We've been told for months now to 'Buy Canadian'.

And some experts say there's at least anecdotal evidence it's working.

But labels can be confusing, and so-called 'maple-washing' can make the process more complicated.

What's preventing you from buying Canadian? What questions do you have?

Plus, from heirloom china – to vintage turntables, what are you going to do with all those family keepsakes that you don't need or don't want?
