So , they imposed tarffs on Canadian lumber. Not quite. The price of our homegrown lumber is so damn high (and I'm sure you can figure out why) that lumber from Canada and overseas is a bargain. In a misguided attempt to make domestic lumber (mills, loggers, JOBS!!) competitive our good ol pres just increased the price of lumber from places that aren't hemstrung by envirals.

If the Canadians want to subsidize our building industry then I say let them do it. They provide hundreds of times more jobs than the logging industry.

I shouldn't say that the billboard is false just missleading because some environmentalists had the affect of making it worse by not allowing logging in some places but that is a drop in the bucket compared to fire supression over the years which they had nothing to do with.
