This Means War
You can do anything you want for the most part. It is a friendly border. You can send us Mike Meyers, Dan Akyroyd, Jim Carrey, The Barenaked Ladies and Pam Anderson. I guess we will even put up with Celine Dion, Dave Coulier, Anne Murray, and Shania Twain. We won’t complain (much.)
But this is going too far. If we can handle you sending us Celine Dion and Dave Coulier, then you will just have to calm down about our frozen, rising crust pizza.
- OTTAWA, Ontario (Reuters) — Over the past few years Canada and the United States have argued about bilateral trade in such high-profile commodities as wheat, softwood lumber, cattle and hogs. Now it’s frozen self-rising pizza.
Ottawa said on Monday it would slap provisional anti-dumping duties of 39.4 percent on imports of frozen self-rising pizzas made in, or exported from, the United States.
The duties — imposed after a complaint by private Canadian firm McCain Foods — will affect pizzas such as the “Delissio” brand made by U.S. food giant Kraft.
Canada’s Border Services Agency, which imposed the temporary measure, said in a statement it would decide on Aug. 16 this year whether to make the penalty permanent.
Countries apply anti-dumping duties when they deem that goods are being sold at less than the selling prices in the exporter’s domestic market or at unprofitable prices.
