Actually bashing is an American politics pasttime and is a disguised form of protectionism. Canadian beef and lumber are verboten to enter US. Lumber because of subsidy issue and beef because of mad cow disease. The one calf found with mad cow was originally from US, not Canadian born. Lots of American calves are brought into Canadian grazing land to make them grow. When they are grown up, they are brought back to US as beef or to US slaughterhouses. I was also told that the real reason for the boycott is because Canada refused to support US action in Iraq. That's eastern Canadians who declined support for the Iraqi operation. That's also despite Canadian strong support for the Afghanistan operation and still there in Afghanistan as well as other parts of the world supporting US interests. It's an example of controlled and allowable inflationary pressure with higher beef prices in US supermarkets and higher lumber (housing and building construction cost) prices.
