It would seem that the American politicians do not like the way Canada manages its forests

It would seem that the American politicians do not like the way Canada manages its forests and thus have deemed it necessary to break international law and levy taxes on our Canadian softwood lumber coming in to the USA.

That is unless it comes in the form of raw logs, or the newsprint the people in upstate New York will find their New York Times printed on. It has been announced that Transcontinental Inc. has won a contract to print copies of the New York Times for the Ontario and upstate New York markets, the media company said Wednesday.

Where does the owner of the New York Times think the newsprint used in this process comes from?

The moon? An American forest somewhere on the eastern seaboard.

No it comes from the very softwood trees that produce 2 by 4's, and plywood that go towards the building of American's homes.

Next thing you are going to tell us is that the hamburgers served in the New York Times' commissary come from a Canadian cow.
