I don't understand the softwood lumber problem. Why can we not let the US win, and lower our production for the US market by 15 % and raise the price on exported lumber to cover the loss? There will be less lumber for the US, the workers would get the same paycheck and by keeping the control in our market our companies would still make as much money. Then put a moratorium on sending unprocessed lumber out of the country. The price in the US would go up, housing prices would rise, but we would be getting the same amount..... Canadian lumber would stay the same.... I also think we should embargo importation of beef products from the US....

Is it 'confidence' you need to have, or just less niggling little worries about what one or the other will do .... it's a matter of picking the lesser evil for most of us, i think, that's just a fact of life in a group of millions, you need the party politics to refine the choices down to where you can fit them on a ballot paper, then everybody's got to pick one of those two or three ... i've never voted without some kind of reservations in re the party i voted for, there was always something, and often fairly serious ... would Harper just kneel to Washington on softwood lumber like the rest have been doing, is a big question, if he can answer it well maybe he'll make a leader we can be proud of, for a change Excellent gold-in-loonies chart i got from Claude's post on another thread just now, i was trying to figure out stockcharts' system for this the other night, and couldn't - stockcharts.com
