You are dead wrong WC. The Canadian lumber companies were not running away from Canada, they were being proactive against American protectionist policies including exhorbinant tariffs. The U.S. has huge swaths of private timberland that they could forsee being harvested in the near future and took action. Good, smart forward thinking business

It's not Canadian policy, it is the reality of a shrinking market. The U.S. may soon become very close to being self sufficient in the lumber market barring a boom in the housing industry.

And Ork lumber markets come and go and West Fraser and Canfor have been buying properties in the US for years when markets were up and down. Your mindless ranting makes no sense. They want a wood supply your lunatic government cant get their hands on.

Stop mindlessly flapping your gums and saying they went south because the markets were down. You dont have a clue what your talking about because the markets have never been a static thing. The lefty treehugging governments in Canada tend to cave into lobbyists and remove cutting rights. They saw the writing on the wall and are getting out. I never fipped on anything I said you clown.
