OTTAWA – U.S. President Barack Obama’s jobs plan has raised concerns in top trading partner Canada because of measures that would restrict foreign companies from participating in infrastructure projects.
Canadian Trade Minister Ed Fast said Wednesday he had instructed his officials to begin consultations with Washington under a 2010 bilateral agreement that exempts Canada from such restrictions.
“Our government will raise with the Obama administration and Congress concerns regarding measures that impede access for Canadian workers and businesses to the U.S. market, as we did for earlier U.S. stimulus programs,”

While the world focuses on the prospects of a new recession hitting Europe and the United States amid neverending government debt concerns, it could be Canada that stumbles first, economists warned Tuesday.
Scotia Capital economists Derek Holt and Karen Cordes Woods said the country risks falling back into recession in the third quarter. The pair pointed out that Canadian businesses have pared back investment in equipment and inventories have risen, something which could create a drag on growth in the third quarter.
Their outlook follows a surprise contraction in the Canadian economy in the second quarter, when GDP shrank 0.4%. That left Canada as only one of two G7 countries (the other being earthquake-ravaged Japan) that saw their economies contract in the second quarter. Another contraction in the third quarter would meet the technical definition of a recession. http://business.financialpost.com/tag/canadian-economy/
Canada wants their cut. What happened to the highway bill that hasn't been passed for what two years or whatever?? It just keeps getting extensions. Why isn't this infrastrucure BS put into that? Has the senate done anything since they've been in session since '10???
if Canada has another contraction in the third quarter being the technical definition of a recession.
add that with Canada being the largest US trading partner, oil supply and major economic investor and it is almost a sure thing the U.S. is in a double dip already and we are all in this for the long haul

no we want to invest in the U.S. because a healthy US economy means a healthy Canadian economy.

We are saying that we are getting some major warning signs that things are not going well.
We are letting our #1 trading partner know we are in trouble.
