Thread Name: BS: NAFTA and the Primaries
Subject: RE: BS: NAFTA and the Primaries
Q???? Beef? Produce? Good lord, man!! Where ya been? Not to mention softwood lumber. Canada has been getting shafted for $Bs!!! Over $6B JUST on the lumber. And that was a few years back.

McCain has been making hay with the "Canada" routine as of late. But, I suppose it's a start. Better than when Garge got in and said he wanted to meet with Mexican Pres ASAP as Mexico was the biggest trading partner of the USA. And FAR better than when Garge was on "This Hour Has 22 Minutes", where he was duped by Rick Mercer... Garge didn't even know the name of the Canuck Prime Minister. Betcha he knew it after he finally met with our PM and Jean served him Alberta beef and PEI spuds for a couple of days before asking Garge about the bullshit.

A tariff on our oil? I dunno if they would do that to their biggest supplier.

And potash has not been mentioned yet. Or M16s...
