Sheesh, don't these people know there's an Anschluss on?
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters, July02/06) - A major Canadian lumber industry group warned on Sunday that some producers may not be satisfied with the softwood trade deal agreed upon this weekend by U.S. and Canadian officials.
Some Canadian companies could try to block the agreement from being implemented by refusing to drop lawsuits they filed against the United States during the trade dispute, the BC Lumber Trade Council warned.
Hmmmm....wonder what's bugging the big money boys now.
Perhaps it is this?
Canadian firms that do not agree to drop their lawsuits would not receive a duty refund, and critics of the deal have accused the federal Conservative Government of using that to force the deal through quickly.
Guess that's just one more example of the fine 'leadership' that the Shrubbery praised Little Stephen for earlier today.
Regardless, I sure hope this latest development doesn't mean that the MP from Canforcouver Kingsway and the new Minister Responsible For Giving Boeing Our Billions is no longer Lumberman Of The Year...
