And Now For More Boston Globe Bashing - LXIX

So, the Boston Globe's had a lot of problems over the past year. They've been kicked out of their long-time home, can't seem to get the paper printing thing right, shitcanning some of their top 'talent', doing a hit piece on Tom Brady's charity, and the cherry on top of it all? They found a way to fuck up the biggest Boston sports story of 2017, just to name the big ones.

So how does the new year start off for Boston's Boring Broadsheet? How about possibly having to jack up the price of the newspaper because of a trade dispute with Canada?

There’s a new front in the Canada-U.S. trade war over trees: newsprint.

A Washington state paper maker is asking the U.S. government to impose duties on Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper, used in everything from newsprint to book publishing. North Pacific Paper Co., or Norpac, alleges Canadian imports are subsidized and are increasingly taking market share from domestic producers, according to documents filed Aug. 9 with the International Trade Administration.

The Washington, D.C.-based trade administration will announce its decision on whether to initiate an anti-dumping and countervailing investigation into Canadian imports on Wednesday, the agency said in an email Tuesday. The ITA enforces U.S. trade laws and ensures compliance of trade agreements.

$10 says the Globe will soon do a story on this issue, and they'll find a way to blame it on Trump.
