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.
