Something so drastic would cause considerable (read: threats of invasion) tension among us-canada relations, unbzete. With the current management of the U.S. administation, I think Canada is like a monkey on a tiger's back. Right now the tiger has it's fill of Afganistan and Iraq. We can poke the tiger to sit somewhere else because they are sitting on our tail, but if we do something dumb like bite it, well, it has sharp teeth.
Right now the US isn't moving. All we've done is give them a poke to tell em get off our tail.
I also agree that Canada should try HARD for finding other buyers of softwood lumber. It's high quality, cheap enough for the U.S. to ban it, and could ship easily...
