See how easy it was to outsmart Trump?

 

Indeed...Canadian taxpayers have paid Trudeau's Bombardier subsidies that will give many Americans in Alabama good paying jobs.

And Trump can put his tariff where the monkey put the peanut.

Canada is already paying Trump's tariffs on softwood lumber....thank you for all the devalued Canadian dollars.

Actually no, American's who are building houses are paying Trump's tariff. I feel for those in California who have to rebuild after the fires, but they will also have to pay it.

Nice try...Canada is paying by reduced U.S. market share, layoffs, mill closures, American takeovers, and foreign competition (Brazil, Russia).

Trump has disturbed Canada's comfy little world and forced Trudeau to get a clue for international trade that is not 75% dependent on the U.S.

It's fairly simple, if you put a tarrif on a product, but people still need/want the product then they have to pay it. We're not going to give you lumber. Your stuff is inferior and more expensive because you don't have a stumpage rate. We are having trouble keeping up with the demand even before the Cal. fires.

Don't care...lumber is a commodity with market prices, not preferences for Canada with subsidies.

Like presidents before him, Trump will slap tariffs on the Canadian cheaters and dumpers.

Sell your beetle infested lumber to China...if you can.

We sell a lot to China already. They want/need it as bad as y'all.

Yeah...Canada sells raw logs like hewers of wood know how, losing the value added for finished, milled product.

Canada can never win a trade war with the United States.

You don't have lumber, and you need lumber. You want our lumber, you're gonna have to pay. China is quite happy to.

Actually, the USA produces more finished lumber than Canada:

With ten times the population what would you expect Sherlock! Therefore you also use ten times, but alas, you're production facilities aren't nearly as efficient. So you need our stuff. It's good for our economy to sell our excess.

Hence....total domination.  Trump knows this....hell...China knows this too.

That's why Canada has been reduced to selling excess, raw, beetle infested logs.

I wonder how many mills will close this year ?

The beetles hit you worse than they did us. We turned it into a business. I won't tell you what. The rest of our lumber is heading south but due to Trump your buddy is going to pay a fair percent more for that lumber. Your mills that are still running, are inefficient and falling apart. So how many do you think will close this year?

U.S. lumber biz is much bigger than Canada's..."Sherlock".

 

Didn't I already clue you into the population difference?

Bigger ain't necessarily better although you regularly seem to misguidedly assume so.

Let me clue you in to the American boycott of Canadian lumber....seems that tree huggers are upset with Canada's raping and pillaging of old growth forests:

 

Quote

The fourth-largest home improvement chain in the United States has joined a growing list of U.S. companies to boycott wood from endangered forests, dealing another blow to British Columbia's embattled forest industry.

Pennsylvania-based 84 Lumber Co., with annual sales of $1.8-billion (U.S.) and more than 400 stores, said yesterday it will stop buying lumber from environmentally sensitive areas within three years.

Seven of the top 10 U.S. home improvement retailers, including Home Depot Inc. and Lowe's Cos. Inc., have issued restrictive lumber-buying policies in the wake of an aggressive campaign by environmentalists to cut off key U.S. markets for Canadian old-growth lumber.

I had to replace two 6x6 mailbox posts last month, and I was very careful to make sure I didn't buy any Canadian lumber.  

Boycott Canadian lumber !!!   It's on like Donkey Kong.

I agree...they are still consumed with post Trump election shock on top of the usual liberal cross-border neurosis.

Maybe I will let the CBC state broadcaster know that my town will soon elect a Republican animal control officer (dog catcher),  so they can send a LIVE! crew to cover it.

Yup, and the first thing that the CBC reported on their news cast this morning was about Moore's loss. They just couldn't wait to report it. They were so happy that Moore lost, you could see all the smiles on their faces. The CBC probably brought the Christmas party booze out a little to early to celebrate. Aw well, the taxpayer's will end up buying them "Moore" booze for another Christmas party. 

Naw, you don't want the CBC snooping around your part of town. That is like asking for a tsunami to happen. If there were a rumor going around that the Republican dog catcher may have sexually assaulted a female dog they will be down there in an instance to get the latest on that no doubt liberal fake and phony news story. Hey, you never know with the CBC. Just saying. :D

I guess if all you need is to hold up a mailbox then you'll be fine. Now then, California and all those houses  needing rebuilt. most people won't likely want that stitched together boards you produce down there.

Of all places, California has the most like minded people who will boycott Canadian lumber from old growth forests.

The boycott is on....keep your "unethical" lumber out of the USA...destroyers of habitat and First Nations land will feel the burn

Trump is helping to shut down Canadian access to U.S. markets, no matter what the cost.

That's because it's news lil buddy. I'm sorry your pedophile lost. (apparently the people of Alabama aren't)  I can only imagine what Breitbart had to say. Maybe you and your buddy BC can concoct a story as to millions of illegal Canadians went down there to rig the vote.:ph34r:

I pity you if you are one of those who would prefer to have a pedophile in a political office over anyone from a different party. I thought the right wing knuckle heads were supposed to be all warped up in religious righteousness or some such bullshit. 

Accused pedophile, darling. There is now another swampster in Washington someone whom you appear to be quite happy with being there. I wonder if Jonesy boy ever visited Epstein's private island like the many other pedophiles from the democratic party did?  Hey, you never know.

Then Cal's can buy lumber not from old growth. And I'm amazed you would try to flog Native habitat into the discussion given the US record on that. Your house luckily didn't burn down. The many others that did will be rebuilt with a lot of Canadian lumber, and the owners will pay Trump's tarrif. Not our problem.

No they won't...more pressure can be applied by BOYCOTTING all Canadian lumber and lumber products.

I refuse to buy any Canadian lumber products, and my house did not burn down.

Buy American...save a forest !
