A freighter loaded with Canadian logs in Nanaimo today. I know this has nothing to do with Carney, but this is not nation building. I also know it is complex. But would it not be better to load that freighter with finished lumber rather than raw logs?

Blame Eby, him and Horgan are why this continues.

They prefer corporate profits to sustainable jobs.

Blame Stephen Harper and the Conservatives.

They are the ones that capitulated to the US on softwood lumber

US Canada softwood lumber dispute started in the 80s. Not trying to defend Harper, but he didn't precipitate that dispute, nor did he end it.

He is the one who allowed raw logs to be shipped to the US for processing.

Before him, it was blocked and functionally no raw logs were allowed out of the country.
