>>ignoring any factors not useful to their polemic<< But if BC held open auctions for timber, all the myriad factors be automatically figured into the bids. Why wouldn't this solve the whole US/Canada lumber dispute? Going to an auction system, depending on how it was done, might well lower Canadian producers costs even further and they would continue to eat the US producers' lunch. The US doesn't have enough good product for its needs so Canadian producers have a natural advantage in addition to their greater efficiency, which, by the way, was created by the US barrier making The US lobby will continue to grease palms in the Commerce department and the mess will drag on for at least a hundred years. It won't solve the dispute because the fix is in! The issue is just small enough to run under the radar in the US and large enough to create fury in Canada. Causes unemployment in Canada and higher house prices in the US. Absolutely the worst outcome for every one, except the US crooks, who profit from their Canadian and US victims.
