Pins made in China. Ball caps from Bangladesh. Even the 6,200 Canada 150 hockey pucks bought by the Canadian Heritage department were made in the United States.

Explanation:

Overall, the Canadian government has spent nearly $1.5 million to buy a variety of items manufactured outside of Canada for Canada Day - everything from flags and pins, to cellphone cleaning cloths, T-shirts and tote bags.
