It's not that the softwood industry cannot compete, it's that bullies keep on attacking the industry over and over again, even after the Canada has won in court every single time.  The last time, if I remember correctly,  the U.S. even kept 1 billion dollars of the fees they had collected.  I won't even talk about Boeing attacking Bombardier.  Why should they worry if they make a better product ?

I'm in no mood to visit the U.S. since the election.  There are small things people can make to protest the U.S. bully tactics.  First, there are many other warm location where to spend my vacation money.  Second, it may be little but when I buy wine I make sure it's not from the U.S. 

Recently, a search engine came up with a U.S. airline as a cheaper choice for my vacation destination but I'll still fly with a non-U.S. airline.  As for fresh produce that come from all over the world, do you need insipid strawberries in January ?
