As an Albertan I welcome the American imposed duties on BC soft wood. Canada should not be in the forestry industry at all - - Trees , which are approximately 50% carbon by weight capture carbon dioxide by taking it into their cells through photosynthesis. They then store the carbon in their bodies. The net effect is tremendous carbon storage. The Union of Concerned Scientists estimates that U.S. forests absorb between one million and three million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year, perhaps offsetting up to half of the country's greenhouse-gas emissions. Loss of forests contributes as much as 30 percent of global greenhouse-gas emissions each year--rivaling emissions from the global transportation sector.

- BC and Canada should be out of forestry!!!!!
-
 - All Albertans should actively agitate in support of the American tariffs and blockade BC timber exportation !! -

(now if BC and the rest of Canada would come around on Albertas energy exports I might change my mind ;)
