Well..I guess Canada finally stood up to the plate to maybe start a trade war..but who would be the victim here? Canada or US?

Here's the link to the story:

Canada I suppose, considering its population is so much smaller.

Canada would probably be fine, but doesn't a large portion of US energy resources come from Canada? If so, I guess the US would come off a lot worse than the Canadians would.

Considering out of all the countries Canada trades with the U.S. is the only one where we have a net profit from exports (this was as of 2000 I believe) as well as being the source of most of our trade in general, I suspect it will be Canada who losses the most.

we're already losing out as the US refuses to abide by the courts decision on their ruling on softwood lumber
