Aren't you angry at your own government for being a sell-out? I suggest you read that article and write Ottawa and demand regulatory changes that will better preserve the forests and wild life.
Carry on!

There have been seven decisions on this matter, all of them have ruled in favour of the Canadian argument, so who do you think is bringing it back to litigation.
Since you obviosuly have no idea of this situation and just like to spout useless nonsense, that is why I asked Criton and not you.
If you want to learn something, learn about the WTO decision on this matter. You can read about it here:

In fact, I'll summarize that one for you:
- Friday’s preliminary ruling by the World Trade Organization (WTO) that countervailing duties imposed by the U.S. Commerce Department on imports of Canadian softwood lumber should be rescinded.
- "This is good news for American consumers, home buyers and renters who are now bearing the brunt of duties averaging 27.2 percent on Canadian lumber"
- The WTO decision clearly shows that the U.S. Commerce Department's findings that Canadian softwood lumber is subsidized are "fatally flawed,"
The funny thing is that this article is from 3 years and one of the parties is still holding up the proceedings, which red white and blue party do you think that is Jimbo?
