Editorial: Pyrrhic lumber victory TheStar.com
For its part, the American lumber industry, which has effectively directed Washington's strategy of harassment from the very beginning, issued an undisguised threat that it intended to drag out the dispute indefinitely.
While we would not presume to tell Canada's softwood producers what is in their best interests, the fact that the federal government is so ready to run back to the bargaining table says to us that it knows full well that NAFTA gives Canada no real power against the protectionists on the American side of the border.
It also says that the touted trade deal is, to a good extent, a sham.------------------------------------------- posted 6:52 AM :: reference link ::
