    Trade sanctions against U.S. in works By STEVEN CHASE, The Globe and Mail
    Should Washington ever funnel to U.S. producers the $4-billion (U.S.) in softwood duties it has so far collected from Canadian firms, Ottawa will be authorized by the WTO to slap much larger sanctions on U.S. goods.

    Canada and other countries hate the Byrd Amendment in part because they believe it encourages U.S. industry to launch anti-dumping and anti-subsidy complaints against foreigners in hopes of getting duties applied and then receiving the proceeds under Byrd.
