    U.S. firms pushing provinces back to table By STEVEN CHASE, The Globe and Mail
    Weyerhaeuser and International Paper officials in late April visited British Columbia, Quebec, Ontario and Alberta for joint meetings with provincial ministers responsible for the softwood file. In Victoria, the meeting included B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell.

    Both companies have significant Canadian operations, but International Paper is also a member of the hard-line U.S. timber lobby -- the Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports -- that's responsible for launching the dispute.
