Canada to be accused of luring business away from US Ports
WASHINGTON - A U.S. federal agency is poised to chastise Canada in an upcoming report to Congress, alleging Canadian ports on the West Coast are deliberately luring lucrative cargo business away from their American counterparts, say sources familiar with the findings.
The Federal Maritime Commission, assigned by Congress last year to probe allegations levelled by two Washington state senators, received more than 75 responses after asking interested parties on both sides of the border if Canada was diverting cargo away from U.S. ports.

Hhahahahaha oh wow
I believe they refer to that as 'competition'. It is a primary mechanism in an economic system called 'capitalism'. Apparently our wise elected leaders are only aware of distant rumors of such a system.Canada to be accused of luring business away from US Ports

There's the problem. Two dingbat senators doing the dirtywork for the Puget Sound unionized port workers.The matter has been a simmering trade irritant between the U.S. and Canada ever since Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell complained that Canadians were unfairly subsidizing the diversion of cargo ships away from American competitors, particularly in Prince Rupert, B.C.

Mine their harbors.
We'll bomb the Baldwins in retaliation
GPS grid reference on the way. Oh by the way expect Obama to come up there to say you're not playing fair.
Haha! Didn't Canadians used to have this same complaint? It's like we've flipped.
Its okay, they will soon be domestic ports
