Welcome to the North American Free Trace Agreement (NAFTA) and global capitalism.

I hope that the country can sustain its economy with such a serious economic threat immediately to the south. Cheap products headed north cannot possibly be good for the nation's economy. I'm talking about Canada, right?

We will not talk of Canada dumping lumber and pork. We should transport oil and coal through the U.S. for no other reason than Canada is one of the few water rich countries in the world. America is dumping billions of gallons of water in search of natural gas with the use of horizontal hydro-fracture well drilling. Temporary gain of gas and a few jobs will never replace the long term loss of the a substance that cannot be replaced and is required for survival. Trade agreements have been the cause of our job loss Not Bane or Romney. We have to coexist with our neighbors but we also avoid pissing in our own Wheaties.

Critical times hard to deal with, will be here.

Perhaps they should sell for less and quite being so greedy.

You mean the US can actually sell cheaper then someone else? Hallelujah! Its about time we turn the tables on the rest of the world - we've certainly paid dearly thru the inflation we're experiencing and a destroyed dollar thanks to Bernanke and obama.

What??? The chips have turned?? How interesting. We have reached the point that we, both the American people and the Canadian, (or at least some Canadian) people have looked forward to for decades.

The reality of both countries monies being on PAR.

I spent years in the film industry and watched my work income go down the drain to the 40% dollar difference between the Canadian and American monetary situation.

Canadian film company's gave, yes gave, their film production services to the American film company's and their producers while neither I nor any other film worker, had a chance in hell of going with a film company to Canada to work as we were excluded from the work if a Canadian citizen could do our job. Of course for 40% less than what I needed from work to survive and pay my bills. The difference for work was that you could come and work if no Canadian had the specific skills you might have. Then you were home free to work.

Yes we,the workers, were irritated that the film company's took productions to Canada instead of using American crews but that is the nature of business, especially the film industry.

I never saw or heard of any film workers protesting, openly, about their loss of money except to creatively figure out how to entice the industry back to the states and employ the local unions and workers

Now that the money is par a lot of the industry has returned to grace many states with stateside film productions.

So I guess shut up and deal with the reality of today.

I have a friend who works in Maine on a small Lobster boat and does quite well.....So these Canadians must be gouging folks for their "product". Managed fisheries and high fuel costs and we can still undercut. Personally, I think Lobster is overpriced and only eat it once in a blue moon.

Won't be long before all fishing is managed....or there won't be any left. Think Bluefin tuna, atlantic cod, red snapper, grouper......

looks like a bad week for Canada

their soccer teams lose and they whine about it because the ref called a rarely used rule

now their fishermen whine about NAFTA which has raised the general standard of living in Canada.

they might change the national anthem to: O Canada our whinny native land.

Seriously what happened to the tough vibrant people of Canada.

Do you think these lobsters may be from Vietnam,Thailand or China and are being resold? I don't see much in our stores from the US and what is is expensive..

Gimme a break! I had a Canadian boyfriend for ten years, so I know what goes on there. He said Canadian leaders never would have allowed a economic meltdown to happen as we have had here. They have no housing crisis or unemployment problems. NAFTA really worked out well for them. Some of them come here to the states to work. I like Canadians very much, but I don't want to hear them whining about competition in the lobster industry. We don't have much left to be competitive about!!! My boyfriend pointed out to me that my Chevy had been assembled in Canada - he was right as I found a little card in the glove box that said that. Jeez.

Hey MacKenzie, just call your local government - I'm sure they will be willing to hand you some of other people's money.

I remember a couple of years ago when Canadian Hog farmers were dumping hogs into the US. The Canadain ag secratary told US Growers to bad.... and they kept sending hogs south. the feed was subsidized in Canada at that time. Sorry Canadian fishermen, the gate should swing both ways....Get effecient or do something else, capitalism is a tough road to hoe! especially with no govt. subsidies.

Ryan VP, why not, another job he can do nothing at. As a matter of fact Congress may get something done with out him.

Please be careful, Canada, or we will unleash on you all the crappy tilapia and Asian catfish (pangasius) that the American public is being fed...

Wanna buy some Asian Carp? We can supply your needs...Some day, when they reach your shores...you can supply your own..

Years ago magazines such as the Mother Earth News used to tout raising tilapia in the US as a commercial product. With our laziness and desire to make a quick buck....we decided to show the Asians how to do it...and now have one less small business industry to make a living from.

Be happy, Canada....it will only last until we run out of lobsters and start living on Chinese ones...

Ha Ha Ha. Canada is a very funny group. Worried about cheap imports. Canada has just about destroyed the fabricated metal products industry in the Northeast due to cheap imports from Canada.

Ever sit at customs on the US/Canada border? All day, full trailers leaving Canada for the US and empty trailers returning. Who is screwing whom.

NAFTA at it's finest.

If it wasn't for the US market, canucks would still have beaver trapping as their leading industry.

Oh. One more thing. If you didn't know. Most of the steel structure for the NEW WORLD TRADE CENTER, that monument to the feisty United States citizen, the icon of freedom, was fabricated in...........CANADA!

..funny, I didn't recall any whining when lobster was twelve dollars a pound.......

Boy, am I missing something here? Cheaper goods from America? What? I thought EVERYTHING in America was more expensive because of those evil unions.

This whole thing smells very fishy to me!

GUROY: Most Americans were'nt even paying attention to the first Free Trade Agreement between the US in Canada in 1988, didn't make the news. most people in the US blabber NAFTA NAFTA like it was the original agreement. Americans were media xenophobes before the dawning of the internet.

Where are the Mounties? Destroying personal property use to be against the law. Put the cry babies in jail and feed them only American lobster. Competition is rough, now you've got price parody with the dollar. Deal with it.

Send the lobs to Hawaii. Yumm

welcome to the american way,break the little guy so the big dogs can make the big buck.that the Romney way

funny.....we just saw 37.99 for a two pound lobster with a tater and and ear 'o corn at the restaurant last week
