Canadian policies were / are US specific ...this is how Canada always had looked towards USA ...BIG BRO ! 
Only this time Canada came to shock and find itself pushed to the wall ..although Govt. still is having same policies to support and help US. 
Why Canada can not help exporters / manufactures to find new markets in ASIA ? Why India and China are still importing from Russia and Canada is failing to fill the gap ?
Why Canada could not find market in INDIA, MIDDLE EAST ? 
There is no support / help from Govt ...and check out Germany..who sold billions dollars worth of timber logs in India , China and Pakistan , just by lowering down some port charges ! ! !
