Canada has to stop being so paranoid.

Our economy is as big as China's but we still run around deathly afraid of those mean Americans.

Instead of running to a corner, crying our eyes dry and dreaming up retaliation, let's do the following:

REACH OUT to the US construction industry who are our natural allies in the softwood lumber dispute. They are hurt by this issue as much as our softwood lumber producers.

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.
