Two independent WTO trade panels decided in the previous softwood dispute that our stumpage fees did not amount to a subsidy. The US ignored the ruling making it an unreliable and rogue trading partner.  Now if we go ahead with carbon taxes and the US doesn't does that mean they have an unfair advantage to Canadains.. do we start countervailing duties against their products? I really dont understand this dispute. It appears that the US needs our lumber... why dont we just raise our prices to match theirs so the money stays in Canada?
