+ The most radically sensible way for Canada to react to the US refusal to comply with the NAFTA ruling on their 5 Billion in tariffs levied on Canadian lumber:
With a simple letter to the US, under FTA Article 2106, NAFTA Article 2205, Canada can, with six months notice, withdraw from these agreements without penalty and without conditions. Our trading relations with the US will then automatically revert back to the GATT/WTO framework of international law, which will enable us to both maintain our institutions and trade profitably with the US.
