    WTO backs Canada in lumber dispute; Trade minister leans on CEOs By ALLAN SWIFT
    MONTREAL (CP) - The World Trade Organization is backing Canada in its lumber dispute with the United States, even as Canada's trade minister tried Friday to get the industry to back a bilateral deal.

    In an interim report, a WTO panel found that the U.S. International Trade Commission 'did not follow international trade rules' when it determined last May that Canadian softwood lumber exports threaten to injure the U.S. industry.

    Independent Producers Oppose Non-Accommodating Lumber Deal PRNewswire
    Representatives of Canada's independent lumber and wood products remanufacturing sector from across Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta today announced their opposition to the non-accommodating U.S. proposal for an out of court settlement to the Canada-US softwood lumber trade dispute.
