I find it a shame the administration in the U.S. and congresspeople writing these letters and blaming us and so on and so forth, right?
You don't get on and start threatening and criticizing because guess what?
One day, it's going to be your turn.
And we're going to be down there without hesitation to support our neighbours, which we should be.
But all the rhetoric going on there, and it's not from all Americans.
I'll tell you, Americans love Canadians.
Canadians love Americans.
But to make the comments they did through the administration, unacceptable.
Absolutely unacceptable.
We're trying to get through this.

I got an idea for President Trump.
Why don't you get rid of the softwood lumber tariffs?

You want us to clear the forest?
