at a guess lizard it's not going to happen. if we did that we would kiss off a major chunk of the power to control our own economy into the hands of people who do not value our concerns at all. that would be pretty foolish don't you think?

"control our own economy into the hands of people who do not value our concerns at all. that would be pretty foolish don't you think?" I seen studies were Canadians polled believed Canada/American Unification to be enviable.

Our Government doesn't value your concerns because they were not elected to represent Canada. Needless to say Canada is getting a pretty damn good deal in regards to the US if Lumber is your main economic concern. Crap our government does things alot worse to our own country than is done to yours. Enjoy the good times while they last, I have a feeling sooner or later your country will no longer enjoy the benefits they do today. Oh and that whole value concern thing works both ways.

the lumber dispute sadly is one of many irritants on the trade front. another major hit was the whole mad cow thing. that one while painful initially is likely going to work out well from our pov. seems there are a couple good sized processing plants being built in canada which makes sending live cattle across the line much less important. it's going to cost a couple 3 thousand americans their jobs though i understand and that could grow appreciably if the trend catches on. of course the stoopid part of the whole thing is that it didn't reduce the odds of mad cow contaminated beef in the states if anything the odds actually went up because the US practises in searching for mad cow are truly behind the times to be as kind as possible. apparently the notion is that if you don't actually look for mad cows you won't find any. think i'd want a higher standard of care by the folks looking after my food supply.
