You are of course correct, I simply meant that comparing E-teck reliability to Yamaha and Honda was somewhat irrelevant. I see Mercury snapping up most of the market currently held by BRP, I could be wrong however.

Agreed. However, we have reached the point where very few things are still made here. I don't think anyone has made outboard motors in Canada since the 1990's, for example.
Does anyone have a list of Canadian manufacturers of consumer products? I think General Electric still has a plant in Ontario but I don't think they make anything for the general public any more. I also think that Bombardier, or spin-offs, make some planes (not consumer products) and snow vehicles in Quebec. Some farm equipment. Anything else? Help required, thanks.
