US car dealers are prohibited from selling new cars to Canadians - restraint of trade?
It is often mentioned currently in the media that Canadians (who are in a position to save 25% or more on the purchase of new vehicles) are unable to purchase new vehicles from US dealers - the reason being that the franchise agreement between the dealer and the auto-maker prohibits selling to Canadians.

Is this an example of restraint of trade?

Generally speaking, is it "illegal" for a US retailer to refuse to accept a sale from anyone - for any reason other than failure to pay the asking price? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.92.8.170 (talk) 02:10, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Restraint of trade
I have just resigned from my position and have already signed a new letter of appointment with a new competitor company.I have now been advised that in my previous letter of appointment was a clause (restaint of trade). Quote:- Upon termination of your employment for any reason whatsoever,you agree that for a period of one year you will not solicit,procure,canvas or otherwise retain any business from or seek instructions from the provision of training,sales and consultancy services to or for any client of this company in any locality/area in which this company already provides those services.

Can you please advise if this clause is legally binding,preventing me from starting the new position,if so what recourse is available to me.
