hmm and NAFTA has what to do with the EU? or the WTO? Sadly we are stuck with nafta for the reasons you mention, so Canadians can keep finding different names for lumber so they can bend the rules and feel all smug about it.
Given that most of our lumber producers are U.S. owned (e.g. Weyerhauser, Louisiana Pacific)a lot of the creators of the "new products" are U.S. companies and U.S. importers, there isn't a lot to feel "smug" about.
There is still enormous frustration in this country over this issue and it is one of the factors that works against the efforts of conservatives in this country to change our government. Unfortunately this is the type of issue that lets our MSM in Canada whip up anti-American sentiment and the leftists up here feed and stay in power on this sentiment.
