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?
Nah, that's like a good load of bullshit. First of alot of our lumber goes to Europe. Second, it's going to cost a lot more in shipping finished products than it is raw materials. What do you ship the juice box or concentrate that you add water at the location?
How do you know that these logs aren't some special wood that only grows in Canada and is used for some historic restoration project like white oak for ship building.
Can you predict the importers' lumber demand? When the wood gets to where it needs to be, is there a lack of 2x4s or 2x6s or did the demand for plywood skyrocket.
