Trump is known for treating our allies HORRIBLY. All I can do is apologize and say I didn't vote for him. Canada, many of us are embarrassed. Not the Trump supporters of course, but many of us.
It's only false to the extent that you've said it is; whereas that mill is running overtime to produce it and the stated purpose is for masks, gowns and other PPE.
YOU said that pulp was not required for masks but yet here's a mill with 320 employees running full tilt to fill a DOUBLING of their normal order from an American company. Something they've never experienced before.
Where do you think the stuff is going if other than the stated purpose?
Now having all but accused the O/P of "lying" then following up by raising the ante with the last post of yours; let's all watch and see what you're made of now>
WOW!!!
Read this quote from the OP:

It's false as I've pointed out six ways from Sunday already but he keeps repeating it. That's not an error any more, it's a lie. 3M does not use that Canadian pulp in their masks.
Furthermore, you are implying that world production of masks is only up 2X which is completely absurd in on its own.

When have Trumplicans EVER cared about New York? They don't. Trump is doing this because at his core he's an isolationist. His actions will do long term damage to the relationships we have with our allies.
You don't get it. The Canadian plant is the ONLY place in the world that makes the specialty pulp. Do you remember why that might be?
Even if that were true, so what? Canada isn't going to block it's export because that still doesn't get Canada any masks. It helps nobody. It's basically a we-lose-then-everybody-loses strategy. The US won't be any worse off because this all came about because places like Florida couldn't get *any* masks from 3M anyway. The biggest immediate loser would be 3M (no mask sales to anybody) and the secondary losers would be all the other countries in the world. But the biggest long-term lose would be Canada as 3M would make sure to never rely on Canada for it's materials again.
You may. But it has nothing to do with the point of the thread.
