I deeply regret that a lumber agreement was not worked out. I find it incredible that our ally Canada finds itself in the position of paying these extreme tariffs and duties to the U.S., and I would be looking at some kind of emergency fix. Can't you slap on an emergency lumber export tax equal to the amount of the U.S. confiscation (under protest), and proceed with the lengthy appeal to the WTO? It seems to me that the Bushies would then have to accept the export tax in lieu of the confiscation while your export tax was in effect, or face howls of protest from U.S. consumers due to the double hit.
