Reagan this month will decide one major issue dividing the two countries: whether to include Canada in any new limits on foreign steel imports, which are hurting the U.S. steel industry. Canada, whose steel shipments to the U.S. totaled nearly 2.4 million tons last year, has asked to be exempted from the quotas. They could cost the country up to 3,000 jobs, and the Ottawa government contends that Canadians buy more steel-related products from the U.S., notably automobiles, than they sell...

As a result of these gestures, Canada has lost that very valuable infusion of job-creating capital we need. Now add to that what has always struck me as a dismayingly perverse dimension of Liberal policy, which was to hector and harass our friends and allies, including the U.S. My position is always that we should give our friends the benefit of a doubt. I think a lot of people in the U.S. are concerned about some of the things...
