All this whining about the USA when there is so much you could do right there in Canada.
I'm betting your not even Canadian. You're probably some looney Liberal who is a Canadian wannabe and pretends they live there.
The US and Canada are sorting this out in the courts Cpal.
You have to ask yourself the question why you think it is okay for the Canadian government to give your lumber companies cheap access to your wilderness without any regulations to protect the environment. Why do you not care about the environment Cpal? You seem so concerned about it when it comes to the USA, yet when it is your own country, you could care less.
Our lumber companies are under all kinds of regulations to protect watersheds and edangered species, in addition to competively bidding for the land they log on. Why aren't yours?
If I were you I would be real concerned. Not only by the Canadian lumber companies competitive advantage, but by the fact they they do not have to comply with any environmental protections. What conundrum we find ourselves in eh?
Frankly, I am enjoying the fact that we can get CHEAPER lumber from Canada and not have to destroy our own forests. As far as I am concerned, let's open up the border to easy cheap Canadian lumber! I don't think the US should stop it, or put tarifs on it. I say bring it on! It's good for our economy, and bad for your environment. Kinda like the best of BOTH worlds eh?
Carry on looney tune.

How are you convinced that there is a competitive adavantage? All of the rulings done by the NAFTA board and also the WTO board have not been able to find any subsidies, yet you seem to be able to find them.
If you knew anything about our lumber companies, you would know about the reforestation programs that they have to abide by, but that doesn't fit into your rhetoric so you seem to ignore that point.
Once again I will ask, Why doesn't the US abide by the NAFTA and WTO rulings and refund the 5 billion that they have essentialy stolen from the Canadian lumber companies? Just try to answer this question and don't go off on one of your tangents and try to steer the topic away.
