Unions call for "Buy Canadian" policy

Canadian unions are taking their cue from their American counterparts by calling for a "Buy Canadian" policy. Can you smell protectionism and a trade war? Thank you, Democrats.

Their calls to for a "Buy Canadian" policy come after the federal government lobbied hard against efforts in Washington to attach a "Buy American" policy to a multibillion-dollar bailout program...Last Tuesday, Layton urged that Canada should adopt a "Buy Canadian" strategy in response to the "Buy American" clause included in the proposed U.S. stimulus package.
