--94eb2c06d364bb4e44054e11a752 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 At a glance one might think the increased cost of exporting might temper the extraction of woodstuffs from Canadian forests, but of course it is more complicated than that. For example, according to this CBC article, J.D. Irving is (effectively) exempt from the tariffs. They will enjoy a ~17% advantage over their Canadian competitors for the US market share, so one might expect them to buy up lands from producers that weren't so lucky, and carry on with extraction and exports as per the status quo. I'd be curious to hear comments of others in this group that are more in-the-know than I. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/maritimes-loses-softwood-lumber-exemption-1.4084447 *Dave in Dartmouth* David Simpson (902) 580 8007 david.sonsimp@gmail.com --94eb2c06d364bb4e44054e11a752 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div>At a glance one might think the increased cost of exp= orting might temper the extraction of woodstuffs from Canadian forests, but= of course it is more complicated than that.=C2=A0</div><div><br></div><div= >For example, according to this CBC article, J.D.
