Softwood lumber imports have been a bone of contention way before Trump. 
The last lumber mill here is now a concert venue. The pulp mill is a toxic 
waste site. I guess a lot of trees breathed a sign of relief.

There were a lot of politics involved but part of the reason the Vermont 
Yankee and Maine Yankee nuclear plants were shut down was cheap Quebec 
hydro.

My 1986 Ford F150, the iconic US pickup, was built in Canada so that's 
nothing new either.
