I realize that. I'm not sympathetic to the logging industry. I hope every last one of them starves to death. Logging is destroying this planet. Hongcouver LOL careful Marcos, I'm in trouble here for off color comments about some obese Americans, who I suggested have become obese in more ways than one. Over eating makes one tired and unable to do a days work well. If the USD can go on a diet I posit that many US citizens are going to have to diet too if they hope get the energy to begin exporting overseas again to the degree they used to. But isn't it the truth? Last winter as I was driving back from Edmonton to Vancouver I went through the Fraser valley. I saw a very very very long train going west with nothing but containers all exactly the same color...belonging to the same company...all of them empty (this was obvious from the length of the train and the speed it was going and the fact that all the containers were the same) with China Shipping Group logos on them. Trade is almost a one way street and as the USD goes lower this will increase. A very eerie sight and I couldn't help but wondering how many people across Canada saw this and if they even thought about it.

<forestry is getting whacked hard right now with the high loonie, don't think we're exempt up here, when they catch a mild cold we get pneumonia> A soar spot in CAnadian industry.... we simply cut too much too fast here, period. Some of the practices here make the US look Green. The wood issue is a matter of oversupply and greed IMO. On top of that, science will show over the next decade or so how naive and damaging logging practices have really been... and Canada is leading the way.... which helps show that Canadian's 'holyer than thou' schtick has lots to do with circumstance vs the US, and little to do with a higher level of conciousness.
