This is the first time in this dispute (which has been ongoing since prior to confederation, if I understand history) that anyone has made the correct point… The principal beneficiaries of the proposed duties and tariffs  are the US woodlot owners.  I can’t see wages and salaries for loggers and millworkers increasing if/when the duties are imposed.  However, the bids for harvesting rights on the private lands will increase.  And then higher costs flow through to home buyers.  Maybe that is the way the argument against the duties needs to be framed for the US lumber customers.
