If someone were to build an Intraprovincial Duty Free Shop, what would your province or territory put in it?

So, for example. Perhaps in the BC section you might find some Okanagan wine. Or, in the Newfoundland section, you could see some bakeapple or patridgeberry jams, or maybe some Newfoundland chocolate.

What would your province want everyone to try?

Is China a real socialist country?

I often see the argument made that China isn't a socialist country because of its economic orientation toward market capitalism. Is this true? I, on the other hand, have always operated on the "looks like a duck, quacks like a duck" analogy. To me, it has all the trappings of socialism, it was founded by one of the principal architects of socialist thought of the 20th century, and it still seems to advocate and rely on the proletariat like any good socialist country would. But I know that there is considerable disagreement on this, and I wouldn't mind seeing that get cleared up, or at least articulated just a bit more directly for me.

I understand that this sort of straddles the line of debate, but I'm more interested in learning why this sort of "Schrodinger's socialist country" problem exists. Is it just a "no true scotsman" attempt to muddy the waters? Or is there something more to it?

Thanks

I've been wearing Merrell Moab 3s for years. I love the waterproofing features, I love the design, and I love the comfort and how wide the foot is. They're fairly lightweight and breathable. It's a perfect shoe for me. The only reason I've linked them here is so that you guys can get a sense of what I'm after.

However.

They're made in Vietnam, and designed by an American company. They're also a bit on the expensive side, so this is kind of an investment for me. They've been my daily walkers/work wear for a while, but I'm going through a career change and I'd like to be sure of my Canadian purchase.

Any lead you can offer helps!
