RE:RE:RE:RE:What price ? True there is not a great volume comming from Russia. But the threat of increasing the volume is certainly a leverage point for the US in negotiations.. There are others trying to chip away at the US market Including Brazil. There mills are no where near as efficient but labor costs are low.
It is my belief that Canadian governments should constantly press heavy to diversify their market. Lessening dependency of Uncle Sam. With 75 to 80% of our GDP going to the US Canada has been dictated to on more than just lumber.
Our oil being Land Locked, suffers up to $17 less per barrel from the US than World market pricing. But Canada's politicians continually block pipelines to offshore ports.
