   I just saw something the other day that specifically discussed Canadian lumber   
   exports, but I presume it might apply to a number of other industries. Since   
   the US was the primary importer of Canadian construction lumber, all the   
   tooling was set up for imperial units of measure. Now that the focus is   
   shifting to other buyers, there's a huge investment required to    
   onvert/replace equipment over to metric.   
      
   My opinion, for as little as it might be worth, is that recent US economic   
   policy is more globally disruptive than a lot of people are taking into   
   account.
