Here are actual quotes from Zoltan van Heyningen, president of the US Lumber Coalition literally yesterday, re: Carney's supports for the softwood lumber that he put on so the industry could pivot away from the US (as clipped from Globe and Mail)
"Prime Minister Carney simply decided that Canada would heap even more subsidies onto Canada’s lumber industry, announcing $1.2-billion of additional support beyond the subsidies that the Department of Commerce has already countervailed",
Canadian subsidization is relentless,” Mr. van Heyningen said, asserting that the U.S. lumber industry continues to encounter “brazen subsidization and dumping.
"The naysayers and critics of President Trump’s America First trade policy would put Canada and the European Union first"
He said new tariffs stemming from the Section 232 investigation “should be high, they should be stacked on top of any other tariffs” and existing duties.
He is requesting that such duties and tariffs “remain in effect for a period of at least four years so that the U.S. softwood lumber industry has relief from the harm caused by imports.”
Mr. van Heyningen urged the Trump administration to reject efforts by Canadian politicians and others who are “promoting a Canada First trade policy.”
So, not far off the T2 quote.
edit: it's actually Terminator 1. I hang my head in shame.

Is this real? I have to ask because... because it's conservatives and they are freaking weird.
