Agreed, however the Americans in charge are refusing to listen to pleas from their own construction industry.

What we have done as our mills go down is to increase the export of raw logs which don't face a duty. So what is happening is that the Americans get our wood, while we lose the jobs.

I think retaliation would get their attention. Rolling over just doesn't work.
