Canada and the European Union (EU) will impose punitive duties of 15 percent from May 1st on certain American exports following the United States refusal to repeal an anti-dumping law.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled the anti-dumping law illegal in 2002. US made items such as cigarettes, oysters, live swine, machinery and paper are expected to be affected.

Canada is joining countries from around the world protesting a U.S. trade measure known as the Byrd amendment, which the World Trade Organization has deemed illegal. The Byrd amendment allows American companies to keep the proceeds that Washington collects in anti-dumping disputes, something Canada and other countries complain unfairly enriches their U.S. rival firms.

Are you sure Canada was included? I read it was a decision made specifically by the EU. On BBC that is... it just seemed strange, I figured it'd be EU because Canada is kind of with the US with NAFTA.
