Thats just it, Q, we have no clout at all.

We do, however, have the resources the U.S. desperately needs.

All we are asking is that the U.S. give Canada the 6 billion that they owe us.

It is true that jobs and income depend on exports but the U.S. is not our only trading partner and the flow of goods and services south can be disrupted and re-routed.

Is it too much to ask for what is fair and just?

Don't forget, if Canada can't trust you, who can? I think that your reputation as a trading partner is at stake.

Perhaps you think that because the U.S. has clout, they can just take whatever they want. Maybe you're right in thinking that they will attempt to do that, but believe me when I say it is not just one party of Canadians that stand behind Martin. He has spoken and at least he is speaking on behalf of all Canadians. Of this, we can be proud.

So what will you do when we blow up the pipeline the third time?

The U.S. should be hanging its head in shame.
