Jim, for a guy who says he doesn't much care about this issue you sure type a lot ... if i had more time this morning i might try to compete, on the other hand maybe not, why bother
'The attempt to resolve a complaint by a powerful lobby within the United States is being dealt with, as it should be, in bilateral discussions'
So what's your message for us here? - that BC should just shut up and take whatever crumbs fall from the timber lobby's table? ... well we're not made that way ... let me tell you a story about one BC real estate agent - in the last hundred days leading to 11/11/18 he met and vanquished with his four [4] canadian divisions fourty-seven [47] german divisions, coming from the high ground at Vimy that they had taken the previous year ... i don't think he'd 'just shut up and take it'
Sure we're going to speak out - as Zeev said the other day, 'if you don't blow your horn who will?' ... and there is a huge sense of betrayal added on in this case, because from the morning of 11 Sept we absolutely dropped all mention of this issue in favour of overwhelming and common cause, while the sleazeballs continued to conspire against us, resulting in the added penalties of earlier this month ... no way we'll shut up now, it is vitally important that people be made aware of what's happening
There's no reason for US consumers to take this either - remember they're the ones who end up with extreme costs if that timber baron lobby continues to get free rein of a federal US department ... sure the mechanism of 'negotiation' is federal, but the dispute does not arise between nations or between the peoples of these two nations ... and btw, yes BC is the principal target of that lobby, Québec as well but to much lesser degree, other provinces too but even less .... Prince George, mah man, Hedy Fry's favourite vacation spot, that's Ground Zero ... hence Mr Kinsley's concern - city.pg.bc.ca
It's been a slice Jim but i gotta go now ... later ... you may indeed stand with hand over heart if you wish, or you may leave your thumb stuck where it is, feel free -g- ..... cháu |
