A) Canada will shift consumption along the original production possibilities frontier until MRT equals the world price ratio, and Canadians will consume less lumber and more MP3 players.
  B) Canada will shift consumption along the original production possibilities frontier until MRT equals the world price ratio, and Canadians will consume more lumber and less MP3 players.
