I haven't bought a UK and I'm not sure if I would, but as a consumer I must say that I don't view buying Canadian goods any differently than buying "American" (ie from the USA, ie from the country mostly between Canada and Mexico). A canadian product will be the same quality and it won't be a sweatshop (maybe a freeze shop, depending on location). It wouldn't affect my decision one bit. That said, if anyone on here knows of a quality factory that needs some work, this could be a huge boost! Look around!

The entire trend, as I have mentioned before, towards the “politically correct” is a trend to falseness. Why are we afraid to call a spade a spade?
As a side note, even if the first two terms can be used without malice, they can't be used with respect, in my opinion. And we all deserve respect. And even if they are used without malice, it would be hard for the recipient to recognize this fact.
While some political correctness is certainly a bit inane, odd and laughable, as you have pointed out, I believe that certain words just don't have a place in polite discourse. That's my take on it.
