Exactly. There's ample evidence that regardless of what's fair or legal the US will cheat when it's in their interest. The idea that Harper was too pushy or didn't comply with their conditions are rubbish. They'll keep moving the goal posts far enough for you to become uncompetitive or drag it out long enough to satisfy their self interests. Obama has been a terrible President when it comes to Canada. I know people here love the idealized version of him, but he's been awful for our interests.
