Off-topic re timber in British Columbia. I am not 100% up to speed on this, so correct me if I am wrong, but in the past, Canadian logging practices, esp in regard to degradation of the land after logging, was about ten years behind the minimum legal necessities here in the US (not to mention California, where logging is a mere shadow of its former self..regulated to extinction.) Thus the Canadians could dump cheap hemlock fir for 2x4s because their cost of logging was cheaper, with low environmental remediation costs. Having actually been on MacMillan-Bloedel land after it has been logged on Vancouver Island and Galiano Island, I would look at Canadian logging practices and possible "uneven advantages", and comment on that, rather than grasping at 9/11 for "brotherhood".
