If the Canadian public says 'go back to the drawing board', muthaducker, you go back to the drawing board. Harpor and Emersin are playing the canadian interests as rubes, that the Yanks are doing us a big favour by floating this floatie of an offer our way. It couldn't be more ripe if it had been flushed through the Victoria sewage system.

Government fights these battles on principle. They can afford to. Cutting a quick deal in order to minimize loss is a business strategy pure and simple. Well, I didn't vote for him. Hell the people who voted for him didn't really vote for this guy ;)Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970933028366815756noreply@blogger.com
