Should be listings for 'smug' and 'complacency' here - dictionary.com 'reasoned and business like plan of attack' - amen amigo, you got it, though i would myself choose 'plan of defense' rather than 'of attack' ...... but exactly correct - we need contingency plans for various possible scenarios with which we may be confronted The scenario we don't like to talk about, even - the building likelihood that the elephant to the south whom we have regarded as friend and ally for a century and a half is currently in the control of hands that will prove not near so friendly, not allied at all .... doesn't matter that we have friends and family down there, they have no control of events, what we are faced with here is machinery of their federal regime, and it's pretty clear who's in control of that at this time We have choices - we can let them pick us off one industry at a time for example, somebody in an as yet unthreatened business could look at the attack on forestry and say sure let them take it, because hey FY Jack i'm all right so far .... and that person would see that as 'reasoned', very likely There are other choices though ... WSC once said of us 'canadians are not made of sugar candy', perhaps he was thinking of the BC real estate agent who had twenty-two years before notched up fourty-seven german divisions ... would Currie hand over the title of our timberland to the pine lobby? .... i rather doubt so So the US makes a wall against what we produce - fine, we must deal with that ... to start, we might reconsider giving free access to what they produce ... of course that's an academic question to those dependent on forestry as they won't have any income with which to do so .... then, we need new markets, new suppliers, new trading partners, real fast, this is not easy but is absolutely necessary to accomplish to all degree possible That's being done on an ongoing basis already, of course, always has been to varying extent .... somewhere i typed in a story from the sixties regarding such an effort, yellow cedar to Japan, can't find it though ..... we are a resourceful people and we'll make it through just fine thank you, sorry to bother you with what you call 'scream and rant', well not really, sounds like you surrendered already so who cares
