Ebbie - Yes, it is irritating. But as I have stated, Americans are gaining control of Canadian resources and Canadians are allowing them to do it.

As the recent decision regarding softwood exports to the U.S. shows, the U.S. does not honour its trade agreements and will probably never re-pay the 6 million dollars it stole from Canadians. Americans take what they want. Even when international courts decide that unfair trade has occurred, the U.S. ignores it.

So much for NAFTA.
