Will R-Calf sue back in response to this suit? If Canada can sue because the board closed hurts their producers under NAFTA, cannot American producers sue if the board opens and prices decline due to NAFTA. After all, under this suit, they are stating NAFTA should not hurt any member.... Any thoughts? :???:

Canadians Using NAFTA To Sue U.S. For Border Closure
About 500, mostly Alberta, cattlemen have filed 121 claims under NAFTA seeking at least $325 million in compensation from the U.S. for its May 2003 border closure to Canadian beef and cattle trade, the Seattle Times reports. Alwyn Scott reports the individuals are suing under NAFTA's Chapter 11, which allows firms to claim damages from governments if their laws or actions damage trading partners.
