uw, that's a crock, you're just parroting the yellow pine lobby's lies .... note if you wish [!], how they never produce genuinely comparable numbers to support their position, it's all just stuff like you type here, with some apples and watermelons numbers stuck in, meaningless but they suck in some who are predisposed to believe whatever guff comes out of the back rooms of Washington

Things they don't tell you include the degree to which the seigneurage effect inflating the US dollar against other currencies acts on the situation .... which is beginning to fade a little, i hear on the radio just now that the loonie is printing usd.71

Another thing they won't tell you, forest management is included in land tenure here, the responsibility of the companies, and highly enforced, so its costs are properly counted as stumpage when comparing with the pine lobby's stated ideal of a simple sale of timber from a piece of their old slave-worked land right beside a large lumber market on the eastern seaboard

There is much more ... really, you'll find if you start looking into the facts of it, you'll have a better chance working up a credible justification for napalming indochinese peasants who are minding their own g.d. business .... here's a list of straight shooting US nationals who don't swallow the pine lobby's bullshit, congressmen all, 'there musta been a hunderd of em beatin on a drum' - partnershipforgrowth.org

Also Barely noticed in Canada are the heavy Canadian government subsidies for lumber production in violation of international treaties.

Which subsidies might these be?

Which treaties might these be?

Which treaty arbitration board has found Canada in violation?
