Forget Pettigrew, send in a hockey hothead, one of the penalty box players you Canadians call "tough guys," THAT will produce results, or at least memorable injuries. John

<<The simple fact of the matter is the Canadian governments do not charge as much to cut down Canadian trees on government owned land in relative terms, than the American governments do. >> A very large % of US softwoods come from private lands(owned by massive publicly traded companies) (yes property is in the south) where there is no direct stumpage fee, rather they replant from their own pocket. Does a single board foot of Canadian timber come from private land?
