Barack Obama - at War with Canada?
I'm sure this is unintended; however, isn't that what always happens when government doesn't think things through before passing laws to "help" us?...
Anthony Faiola and Lori Montgomery have this update in the Washington Post:
"This week, the Canadians fired back. A number of Ontario towns, with a collective population of nearly 500,000, retaliated with measures effectively barring U.S. companies from their municipal contracts -- the first shot in a larger campaign that could shut U.S. companies out of billions of dollars worth of Canadian projects.
This is not your father's trade war, a tit-for-tat over champagne or cheese. With countries worldwide desperately trying to keep and create jobs in the midst of a global recession, the spat between the United States and its normally friendly northern neighbor underscores what is emerging as the biggest threat to open commerce during the economic crisis."
