Canada/USA is pretty much the same. We've been building parts and cars in Canada for a long time and no one has ever said a negative thing about anything produced there. Now Mexico...
It will be better in the snow but it will suck on the beach.

and it would like flannel seat covers
Beleive you have mentioned something that has never been done.
Good idea, eh?
...runs on beer, eh?
good/bad???
White paint job, red trim, and a big red maple leaf on the hood?
Your giving me bad ideas for a project vehicle. :)
That WJ has lots of things to sorry about, being made in Canada isn't any of them.
One of the things to look at is the viscous coupler in the tcase if you get one with full time 4WD.
good/bad???
Indifferent. The US and Canadian auto industries were unified in
1966, long before NAFTA. Before that, the US companies had to assemble Canadian versions on that side of Lake St. Clair. This led to limited choice (just not worth it to do a Canadian line of a slow seller) and oddball parts (make it fit stuff, rather than the correct parts which were across the line and upon which they didn't want to pay duty).Since then, Canada (roughly) makes 10% of the total North American supply, in both completed cars and parts terms. So, for example, EVERY D-C minivan is made in Canada, but NO Neons are, and it all works out in the end.
It is not possible to distinguish between a Canadian US-spec model and a US US-spec model. They are identical, except for the first numeral in the VIN.
