If Canada stopped exporting a good under NAFTA, they would be expected to pay the US and Mexico the penalty determined in the contract. Are you saying that there really is no contract?
I guess Canada is off the hook if the US is. Mutually terminated contract.
That fricken cow has cost the Canadian cattle industry millions of dollars. By the end it could be billions.
If the cow aquired BSE while it [or it's related cows] was in Montana, then it has serious implication for the US cattle industry, and their ban on Canadian beef imports. It's like shutting the gate when the horses are out.

And the way you speak makes me think you aren't one of the 70%+ Americans who didn't vote for the Republicans in the last election. Does everyone who speaks against your country, in your country, become labled an America hater? I suppose it is more advanced than imprisioning people with views that oppose the government, but it isn't much better in spirit.
You've already exposed yourself as someone who konws nothing of world trade. In fact I bet you couldn't tell me an approximation of any currency's exchange rate with the US Dollar, without looking it up first.
"Same problem as above--Canada's socialist, anti-market subsidies propped up softwood lumber producers so they could dump their products in the US. Just like in the case being discussed, the US applied a corrective measure. If the Canadian industry can't handle a little competition, that's not our problem."
You are forgetting completely about NAFTA, which your REPUBLICAN government endorsed and agreed to. If you can't handle a little thing called a contract, then don't agree to it!
Actually it is an example of pig headedness. If the US market breeds unfair competition, then it should rethink its business model instead of imposing large and/or illegal tarrifs.
Did you know that the US thinks the Canadian Wheat Board subsidized farmers off the books, to sink American farmers, and so Canadian farmers are being unfairly abused by the American market.
Or how about the illegal [as the WTO ruled] tarrif on Softwood lumber?
Or how about the Mad Cow related Canadian beef ban, when the cow has ties to Montana, USA?

This is another indicator that Generation X and the Baby Boomers are spineless for the most part. Why let a bunch of 20 year olds walk all over you? Back in the good 'ol days, 20 year olds were sent off to fight wars and die by the 35 and 50 year olds. Now the 20 year olds are calling the shots.
I thought we were supposed to make WiFi affordable by using empty Pringles cans and Floppy disks as the antennas rather than shelling out big bucks for custom made ones?
Dumpster Diving saves society thousands of dollars, by reclaiming useable material before an irresponsible person puts it in a landfill and takes our taxpayer's dollars to make waste.
You can see her naked in her swimming pool! No wonder she is so upset. Now if they'd used a crumby 5MP camera instead of a 6MP, then she might make a deal.

Because can you picture a code monkey without their beer?
And never mind the Pringles, and other high carb foods for those late nights creating stuff.

You really don't know what is going on I think.

That is yet to be determined. And he did lose time, and his feeling of security.
"I asked the tech support rep if they really wanted me submitting the incident report through a hijacked proxying web server."
I'm sorry sir, you'll have to submit that report by email before we can do anything for you.
But I can't send you the email, because I don't even have access to my mailbox!
I'm sorry, thank you for calling, have a nice day. *click*
That is totally bogus that the FBI wouldn't handle this. The NIPC is totally worthless.

So you are trying to convince us that Canada has the WTO in it's pocket, and is paying them to rule the USA out of line?
Yeah, sure, give us a break!
The CWB was around when NAFTA was signed, and so was the lumber industry.
" If it weren't for us, you'd be saluting Hitler or speaking Russian right now."
And just what did the rest of the world do to deserve the priviledge of saluting a draft dodging, coke using, lying, moron?
You talk big, but it is hot air.

This just means that games have to design themselves to mimick benchmarking software.
Come to think of it, why doesn't nVidia just optimize their software for games instead of benchmarking software...?
