Dave: re alienating the middle...

It appears he is going to continue this trend.. his administration is going to it appears support levying an import and dumping duty on Canadian softwood lumber of at least 40%. - today the industry proposed an 80% penalty.. which if levied will cost the average American homebuilder an extra 1500 -4000$ U to tack on to the costs of building his home..

Canada of course.. is making sure the homebuilders of America find this out.. so they can help to counter the protectionist lobby that these US softwood guys have in the Congress... a lobby by the way that has claimed we've been illegally shpping wood before.. 3 times in the last 20 yrs they've gone to the WTO, and three times they've lost... wheres the so-called free trade in what they propose today?
