Mike, Scott
I know your comments were not directed at me. As a matter of fact no one seems to have taken exception to what I wrote yesterday.
Scott, what you presented is the opinion of one side of this disagreement. I can assure you that the Canadian forestry sector is just as vocal about all of the wrong doings being blamed on the Americans. The real truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
I cross the Canada / US border every weekend from early April until mid or late October and I see truckload after truckload after truckload of "round wood" heading north into Canada. This has been going on for years so we certainly do import a very large amount of un-processed wood from the US.
As I said earlier, Canada and the US have in excess of $400 billion per year of two way trade. Certainly, there are going to be disputes when there is this much business happening.
Venamm, You can say whatever you want but as a new comer to this site, I would hope that you tone down your rhetoric somewhat before my attorney friend in Northern California gets involved.
(Jamo, how am I doing?)
