Hi marcos; Re: "... specifically exempt our timber from NAFTA in the fine print, thusly violating its spirit in its letter."

How could a document that's supposed 10s of thousands of pages long have a "spirit"? NAFTA was an extraordinarily complex deal cut between nations, it was not a document that was inspired by principles.

By the way, you're not winning any converts by talking about "slave holding". If the Canadian government talked like that we'd close the border with you. Do you really want Americans to think that that's what Canadians think of us? Our economy is a hell of a lot less dependent on yours than vice versa.

That was my big complaint about it at the time. I'm guessing that in the absence of NAFTA the timber crap would still be going on. By the way, I bought some gorgeous douglas fir 4x10s yesterday. Do you guys cut wood to American dimensions up there?
