Just a reminder to the ignorant that the softwood lumber war has been going on since 1982 and  quite frankly it is Canada's problem, not something that the current government in BC has created or can fix easily or on its own. In the first time in 35 years it is refreshing to hear that BC may take the lead on setting retaliatory measures but we have to remember that this will be the start of a trade war with the US and it will have repercussions from the US that will affect other industry. I am sure the ignorant will then blame Christy Clark for that as well.
Log exports are necessary for a healthy industry, stopping them tomorrow (as NDP) claims they will do, can only kill more jobs.  Alternate markets take years to establish and I think the Liberal Government has done a wonderful job in developing the new and growing market with China. What the heck has the NDP ever done for the Forest Industry?
