but I think Canada is off base with their complaints about targeted infrastructure spending.  Sounds more to me like sour grapes at not being allowed to eat part of the $819 billion pie.  Yet inquiring minds want to know: Is there no other area in which Canadian steel can be put to use?  In other words, how does such an act violate NAFTA when there are no limitations that would prevent Canadian businesses from, say, supplying steel for every other type of venture?  Unless of course, Canadians are assuming that nothing BUT infrastructure will be built in the coming years.  Like I said, I may not get it.  Feel free to educate me further.  It just seems to me that the "Buy American" act could actually give industries like Canadian steel more of an opportunity to impact the U.S. market, especially if U.S. steel gets hogged by infrastructure needs.
