quote [ the law requires shipping between American ports be done with American-built, American-flagged vessels, which the ASG doesn't operate. An exemption known as the third proviso, however, apparently accommodates goods that make part of the journey via rail in Canada. ]

So not only are they skirting the law but this little railway is making $350M a year putting on this pony show? I'll bet the owners behind it are pretty pissed off about that golden goose being put down.

I want to know if the federal government will amend the law to include a minimum distance for the train to travel.

Adding a minimum just allows the same loophole. What they want to do is say that the rail travel had to be necessary, i.e. there isn't a logistically simpler method that is being avoided because it would require a US-made, US-flagged vessel.
