A Suggestion for Stephen Harper

No, not that one, this is about the softwood lumber dispute.
Looking at how effective our marijuana marketing board has been, I suggest we make all exports of softwood lumber to the United States Illegal. This will completely circumvent the US duty on softwood lumber, as they will not be able to collect duties on Illegally imported goods. Soon thousands of truckloads of illegal softwood lumber would be careening across the border, our unarmed border guards helpless to do anything. Judging by the B.C. pot exports, the forests of British Columbia would soon be denuded (making room for more grow ops) And this would be perfect payback for all the tobacco smuggling coming in from the US.
