http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=97326§ionid=3510207 01 As the "Buy American" plan in US economic stimulus legislation draws increasing criticism, Canadian municipal leaders threaten to retaliate against the movement, which it deems contrary to free trade. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities, in an effort to get the "Buy American" restrictions removed, took a step to support communities which refuse to trade with countries that put business restrictions on products and services from Canada. The move came in response to a stimulus package passed by US Congress in February which requires projects funded with stimulus money to use only US-made steel, iron and manufactured goods. Well, I can understand the US wanting to keep things inside for a little bit. It will help them in the long run, however it is already hurting Canada, and European countries. I thought this had already been taken care of however, I thought Obama had removed or relaxed the rule? Citing that more than 250 Canadian companies have lost contracts -- and subsequently jobs -- due to the act Jayson Myers, president of the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, said that the two sides could "get into some retaliatory trade war around procurement." |
