Canadians angered over Buy American rule

Canadians angered over Buy American rule
"Canadian municipal leaders threatened to retaliate against the 'Buy America' movement in the United States on Saturday, warning trade restrictions will hurt both countries' economies.
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities endorsed a controversial proposal to support communities that refuse to buy products from countries that put trade restrictions on products and services from Canada.
The measure is a response to a provision in the U.S. economic stimulus package passed by Congress in February that says public works projects should use iron, steel and other goods made in the United States."

Let the trade wars begin!
