I hearby announce a one-thread moratorium on making fun of Canada.

This applies only to myself, and the policy is subject to revision at whim.

We should lift any duty on soft lumber asap to keep costs of rebuilding down. We are paying for European lumber these days to fill demand.

I agree. I've been reading some reports/interviews with some of their regular seamen on board ship. Sure, they've got medical supplies, diving teams, etc., but they're also prepared to do anything asked of them. The regular crews are eager to hit the ground running, digging through muck and debris, any nasty/grissly stuff like body recovery, whatever they're asked.

I consider this good, honest, APOLITICAL help from friends and neighbors, and for that: THANKS CANADA.
