I urge all Canadians that read this to resolve never to buy American wine again until this ridiculous softwood lumber situation is resolved. I urge all American wine producers to get involved and protest the duties being charged on Canadian lumber. It appears that the winners of the obscene duties are the relatively few American lumber producers. The losers will be the American consumer and Canadian producers. It's argued by International Paper and the rest that Canada does not charge enough for it's lumber at source, raw logs. I say that America wants to charge too much for it's raw logs and to generate obscene profits for land owners.

NAFTA isn't remotely "Free Trade". This is just for show. www-tech.mit.edu www-tech.mit.edu What you need to learn is how to bribe more effectively. If America was a democracy, cheap Canadian lumber would be voted in imho. Houses then could be built more cheaply. Wouldn't work here. We still build our houses with bricks. A proper "free trade" agreement for North America could benefit all three counties possibly. The EEC would be good for Britain if it didn't entail more government and more taxes. Unfortunately it means lots more of both.
