The resolution is in retaliation to "Buy American" provisions in President Barack Obama's stimulus bill. Mayors voted 189-175 to approve the resolution at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference in Whistler, British Columbia.
The resolution says the federation should support cities that adopt policies that allow them to buy only from companies whose home countries do not impose trade restrictions against Canadian goods.
The mayors also voted to hold off on any action for 120 days while Canada is negotiating a possible compromise with the U.S. government.

Look, I'm not one to defend Barack, but this is ridiculous. Some Canucks want to shut us out of their "country?" Let me put it to you straight Canada, you have NOTHING other than hockey, beer, snow, wood, and oil. Your biggest export is Wayne Gretzky, and he hasn't been relevant in twenty years. Your best college is McGill, and that's not exactly the shining beacon of learning in North America. You're just a bunch of incestous, flannel-wearing, ice-skating pansies. Case in point: Robert Horry asking Steve Nash how his ass tastes. Or Kobe dunking on Nash and rubbing his testicles on his face. And don't tell me how Nash won two MVPs. Everyone knows Shaq should have won the first one.
Calling Canada a country is being generous. You're America's dandruff. You haven't won a Cup since '93. What else happened in that year? Lorena Bobbitt cut off John Bobbitt's penis. Since God is a man, and he doesn't want any more of us losing our equipment, he's keeping the Cup out of Canada.
Open up your borders. You need us a lot more than we need you.
OUT
