    A dispute over steel may devastate lumber By Don Whiteley
    While both government and industry officials from Canada and the U.S. are exploring ways to restart the moribund softwood lumber talks, the Americans are seriously considering lobbing a trade hand grenade into the room.

    Canada's softwood lumber exports may see a significant increase, perhaps retroactively, in the current 27.4-per-cent combined countervailing and anti-dumping duties. It would require payments in the tens of million of dollars, and could nearly double the effective rate of the duties.
