Pettigrew on the radio this morning, short piece, says week ago monday the US and canadian negotiators had taken their mutually agreed upon deal to the yaller pine bunch, who rejected it outright ... no idea what this deal was, he didn't say ... anyway, big surprise all round at the increasingly clear ultimate goals of the lobby 'we're looking for an alternative to Saddam. Someone like a Somoza' - #reply-17245080 Wow, eh ... there are links on Somoza, contras, North, Poindexter, Reagan, blown-up little kids, raped and/or tortured people of all ages and genders, murdered priests et al upthread here i think .... well this really goes to show, that even on those days when we view our neighbour as generally benign, which most days it is, that within it there are individuals exhibiting other traits .... good on frankw for calling bullshit on this one

I'm sure you've seen this ,but it supports my fear that the worst of all results in this mess, will be a long lasting loss of market share for high end non-structural forest products. WEYERHAEUSER CALLS ON U.S. TO REMOVE CEDAR FROM TRADE FIGHT Weyerhaeuser testified today before the International Trade Commission in support of its application to have Western red cedar exempted from U.S. trade action against Canadian wood imports. The company testified that the import of Canadian Western red cedar actually complements, rather than harms, American cedar production. "We've always said that as a high valued appearance product, Western red cedar does not belong in this dispute over structural-grade lumber," said Bill Gaynor, Weyerhaeuser's senior vice-president for Canada. "Everyone knows that Western red cedar is in short supply in the U.S. The irony is that U.S. businesses and jobs depend on a continued supply of Canadian cedar." Last Friday, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced its decision to invoke duties totalling 35 per cent on Weyerhaeuser's wood products from Canada, pending a final decision in May. Weyerhaeuser believes that this high rate is partly attributed to biases in the U.S. process that discriminate against high valued products such as Western red cedar. "The entire North American cedar industry is at risk if these duties are not removed. Price increases and a lack of supply will prompt consumers to turn from North American wood products and toward alternatives, including tropical hardwoods and composites," said Mr. Gaynor. "We are also concerned about the impact duties will have on our employees and operating communities in coastal British Columbia, where the majority of Western red cedar is produced. A duty on Western Red cedar is simply wrong and unjustifiable, particularly given the enormous human toll this trade action will have on Canadians and Americans working in the cedar industry."
