U.S., Canada tense over Iraq contracts By GEORGE GEDDA, AP
There was cross-border finger pointing as to which country was responsible last August for the worst power blackout in U.S. history.
Tensions also have been exacerbated by trade issues, ranging from U.S. tariffs on softwood lumber imports from Canada to U.S. restrictions on Canadian meat products because of a lone case of mad cow disease.
