could it be that gayness in canada is somewhat gayer than gayness in the US?

"The Canadian government does bid out lumber cutting through programs like BC Timber Sales, which auctions public timber to the highest bidder. This process helps the government determine stumpage rates and prove to the US that timber harvesting isn’t subsidized. However, logging companies in Canada don’t receive direct subsidies, and it has been proven multiple times in WTO court that stumpage fees are not considered subsidies."

This is the benefit of Free trade, some areas of the world can produce something cheaper than other areas for a variety of reasons. Tariffs are used to counter this.

Dirt, The US Lumber Coalition has done a very good job demonizing Canada's lumber. I understand why they want to but they're a powerful lobby group and not every talking point is factual that's for sure. Now they're mad at wall street for their take on the lumber tariff issue.

I'm still waiting to hear how we keep playing games with beef.

The world runs on Bull crap.

Yeah, now you are just being difficult.

I think this may be the answer to Savell's question.

I just went out and bought 4 years worth of everything because the tariffs kick in on the 1st. I just dodged the 25% inflation that's coming, and I want to give a shout out to my northern neighbors for the tip.

What is gay is Trump and the rest of you whining because we can produce lumber (and other stuff) cheaper than you can.

If brains were gasoline you wouldn't have enough to drive a pissant car around the inside of a cheerio

Have you seen his wife? You need to open the Igloo door and let a little fresh air in.

"The U.S. Department of Commerce today raised tariffs on imports of Canadian softwood lumber products from the rate of 8.05% to 14.54% following its annual review of existing tariffs."

You already have been being screwed by gay Biden.

Ha1, (I knew you'd get it!
Well, I don't know, hard to say. Both can take it to extremes. There was a bar in Winnipeg called The Gay Cavalier. They had to change their name after getting "flamed" when a new meaning of "gay" came out. In all fairness, that number reflects the gayness of the general public. I sure hope it's a heck of a lot lower on this site and trappers in general. There was only one weird guy at a trappers convention that I'd consider questionable, he was quickly escorted off the grounds by the cops......lol. Some may remember the talk about him at the NTA national in Sioux Falls last summer. No, It wasn't Boco, he didn't make it.

If the trumpster would just hold off the tariffs for little while(few months)

until we can hold an election

We would be a lot less gay,,,,,a lot less!!!

If he hammers us with tariffs before an election,,,,,,the politicians will turn us super gay

Neither are nearly as bad as this comment.

Canada hangs out in truck stop restrooms.

So thats where you got your sign in name. It all makes sense now.

I sincerely hope that you do not have to become super gay.

I wasn’t going to say anything but my family said otherwise. So here it goes. Bruce-T I wrote a comment a few pages back and you made fun of my sentence structure. Before you go and judge people you should know something about the person you’re making fun of. I have overcome several learning disabilities, including dyslexia. So please for the sake of people in my same situation keep your comments to yourself. Your apology is accepted but please in the future be careful. I tried to be nice as I could my family read this before I posted it. I hope it passes inspection.

I just looked back thru everything and the only thing I could find was where I said (quote)we just had more important things to learn then perfect sentence structure.......Has nothing to do with you but me talking about people such as myself not using perfect sentence structure.

Thank you. I sincerely apologize I miss spoke. I learned a lesson I should have kept this private. I have no excuse for my actions on this. I truly am sorry.
