As I know, Canada is a quasi-communist, socialist snowflake nation that exploits and perverts the "free market". The worst sponsors of this socialism are found in our security apparatus, from the local police on to the feds.

Mr. Ross is correct. Canadian provinces own the land (communist) and charge a fee to chop the wood. This is then passed onto the U.S and can be considered a method to subsidize. Much like Canadian operatives entering American corporations and interfering in the free market, this is another "Canadian Comrade" tactic. This particular debate has been going on for decades.

From wikipedia:

The prices charged to harvest the timber (stumpage fee) are set administratively, rather than through the competitive marketplace, the norm in the United States. In the United States, softwood lumber lots are privately owned, and the owners form an effective political lobby. The United States claims that the Canadian arrangement constitutes an unfair subsidy, and is thus subject to U.S. trade remedy laws, where foreign trade benefiting from subsidies can be subject to a countervailing duty tariff, to offset the subsidy and bring the price of the commodity back up to market rates.

Thank you Mr. Ross. Retroactive 90 days, so that's another $250M in the U.S coffers. Canada is going to learn, you interfere in peoples lives, business pursuits and career of your citizens, you will pay a price as there is ALWAYS a bigger dog on the block.

Next dairy, meat labelling and Canadian operatives covertly harming American business pursuits. Mr Ross is an intelligent, well read man who understands the difference between free markets and PR B.S. You can fool some people, but don't try and fool someone who doesn't buy the plastic arguments you are selling.

Man. You really really hate Canada.
 
Canada is a great land with great people. Been there several times, one time, in '75, driving all the way to Yellowknife. Wonderful trip, would like to do it again.

The truth about Canada is that they are a nation much like ours, but have a much better healthcare system.

I love Canada, Canada hates me.

When you have multiple careers interfered with, face threats and abuses you couldn't imagine, all because you spoke the truth about abuses against America and European businesses, you would understand. This is NOT democracy or free markets, it is excessive abuse and terror against someone. No charges, allegations, Due Process, Rule of Law, just unaccountable bullying of a citizen in hopes I would go away or worse...

There is plenty to tell. Just as a rat bast*rd was trying to generate interest in a union at IBM a similar tactic was done in Quebec against Walmart, an attempt by undercover operatives to generate a union at Walmart. Walmart simply shut down the store, costing many jobs, all because the Canadian and provincial government want to control businesses and stifle competition. I know of at least two other businesses in which these tactics were employed by the police.

This U.S administration will hear plenty more from me. Trump and his team "get it", Canada after a decade of me explaining that it would face consequences for what they were doing (had done) to me and foreign businesses, refuses to. The RCMP and their surrogates bully people because they can, now Canada is facing a counter to their abuses. Canada likes to "play the game", from nepotism and crony capitalism to covert abuses of foreign businesses.

In fact I love my country, have a family history of military duty and myself even considered a career in the military. I love freedom, liberty, justice and transparency even more. I gave successive Canadian governments the facts necessary to do what was right, I explained that I wouldn't reach out to them anymore and would instead blow the whistle, and reach out to external administrations. I cc'ed them on emails as unlike them, I am as transparent as I can be. What more was I expected to do? Would you accept a life in which you will lose your home and never retire comfortably because of the efforts of the state?

Again, you have no idea what my wife and I have been though. NO American or civilized citizen in any democratic country would approve of the life interference I have experienced. Facts are facts, and I am no longer silent about them.

Not what the US AMB to Canada said, he said trade is pretty even and lumber is not included in Nafta. He also said Canada is our largest trading partner and we depend on Canada for Oil. He said this should of been discussed behind closed doors.

Of course he is going to say this, this doesn't mean Canada is playing by the rules, they have never played by the rules, the arrogance you see in trade is more broadly accepted in an unaccountable government that lacks transparency.

Canada believes they can get to Trump through his daughter Ivanka, that is their angle I assure you. Trying to exploit his family for some sort of advantage at the negotiating table. Pitiful commie tactic in an attempt to circumvent democratic principles.

Of course you liked it there, since you've been there way before leftist usurped the power.

How about you schedule MRI there. You may get it in approximately six months.
