Canada and the United States | The awkward couple Canada's trade with the United States amounts to almost $400 billion a year. Disputes are frequent, but most are kept within manageable limits. Not so one involving American duties on softwood lumber, which over the past nine months has cost thousands of jobs in Canada and increased housebuilding costs in the United States.
