'Canadians argue their lumber is cheaper for a variety of reasons, including production efficiency. They say it can't be replaced by a prominent U.S. product, Southern yellow pine, because that wood warps too easily.'

There are other reasons, several of them strong factors, like the pumped-up US dollar that stays inflated in relative value due to its use as the default currency of the planet ... until the US stops getting stuff virtually free as the rest of the world hands it a seigneurage advantage, no other nation's coin can possibly compete ... as long as the USD holds its bubble it acts as a giant hoover sucking up cheap goods and services, when the tide changes it will act as a giant hoover sucking up those widely distributed little bits of boringly all-green paper [many of which are actually counterfeit, which will be a fine joke on the holders] .... for this and other reasons, i like to hold positions in gold stocks

Then there's the fact that we in BC simply have a fair amount of the world's best land for growing timber, much of our land is suited to nothing else, that's why we have many communities based purely on forestry ... north enough to support the slow-growing straight-growing species - the s/p/f of the interior, for instance, that is the direct competitor to the lobby's pinus taeda, would not grow down there on that old worked-out cotton land where they were driving their previous crop of slaves
