>>The change cannot be instant even in the absence of US government threat<< So cut a deal for a new temporary agreement to give you time to work out the changes. >>i'll make a fuller response to this later on FOs vs Cuddlies<< I'll look forward to your response over there. I've posted some additional material... Subject 51596 >>Under it all is the fundamental principle that as a sovereign nation we have the right to organise ourselves as we wish within our own borders, to tell those eastern seaboard slavemasters to just piss off, we are a free people and wish to remain so<< I cannot understand why you continue to wrap this issue in the flag of sixties-style liberation mythology. This is a friggin' 3rd millennium trade dispute. Countries all over the world are adjusting their legal and cultural systems to adapt to globalization.

only a few months ago we kicked out the socialists, What? You mean the "invisible hand" is going th have to stop playing pocket pool and actually do something? The change cannot be instant even in the absence of US government threat And now we get to the crux of the issue. You are finally admitting that something has to change in Canada with the way those socialists have created their own little political fiefdoms by doling out subsidies to their favored industries... Basically, it sounds as if you have just capitulated completely and are now pleading for mercy from the US. Well Marcos... the US has been pleading with your "socialists" to change the status quo for years now. And it required direct US government tariffs on Canadian forest products to wake you guys up to the reality. And that reality is that we don't mind economically partying" with you all, but when you start peeing in our pool, we're going to take some umbrage and eventually threaten to kick you out. With that, I would think their is no longer any purpose debating you on the issue, nor any reason for you to continue your venomous diatribes against the US. I'm sure this is all going to be worked out amicably. This is nothing more than a neighborhood spat between long-term friends. It will get worked out, workers will be retrained, and life will go on.
