Stomped by the elephant By PETER HADEKEL: But it was better than being whacked over the head with a two-by-four, which is what's happened to the Canadian industry since punitive duties were imposed on Canadian softwood.
But the deal collapsed under pressure from U.S. producers.
Okay, it's just one glitch in a bilateral trading relationship worth hundreds of billions annually. But it does raise the question of what the best economic course should be: should Canada pursue even closer economic integration with the elephant or try to set limits on a sometimes fractious relationship that already accounts for over 85 per cent of this country's trade?------------------------------------------- posted 11:03 PM :: reference link ::
