More fun with NAFTA

Softwood lumber isn't the only area where the U.S. has gone out of its way to acknowledge its being completely wrong. Just look at the record on the Canadian Wheat Board, which secured another victory today:

The Canadian Wheat Board says it has won a final decision from a NAFTA panel which will allow the free movement of spring wheat into the United States.

According to the wheat board, the North American Free Trade Agreement decision amounts to the last hurdle in removing a tariff that has virtually closed the border to Canadian spring wheat exports since 2003...

An official with the wheat board says the Americans have launched 14 challenges to Canadian wheat imports since 1991.

So far, none have been successful.

Just one more example of how NAFTA eventually protects Canada's trade interests a couple of years too late, and only until the next frivolous American claim to shut down the border.
