    The problem always was a two-way street. It looks like it has been resolved. Good for us - a trading nation.

    Last week, Obama suggested that Canada's provinces must open their local markets to American companies. Canadian officials say the White House first stated its terms last spring, after Obama's visit to Ottawa.

    In August, it was revealed that Canada and the provinces were offering U.S. firms guaranteed access to procurement contracts, as long as Canada gets a waiver of the "Buy American" provision.

    It'll definitely be a feather in Harper's cap if this goes forward (and a damn sight better than when he caved in over softwood back in 2006).
