3. NAFTA or no NAFTA
that lumber, oil and electricity ain't comin' from anywhere else. Or did Raygun, Clinton and Mulroney figure out a way to plant all that oil and hydro power up there to convince Canada to sign on?

2. Canada's Standards Are in Line (and frequently higher) Than The Current US Standards...
