Jim Stanford seems to think that we should (a) give our notice to the US on NAFTA, and then (b) negotiate a new deal – our question is, “What makes him think they would live up to their end of a new deal any better than they’ve lived up to their end in this one?” [.....]

Leftie though I may be I’ve gotta give basement bunker points to Stephen Harper, he earned them. US Ambassador David Wilkins described Canada’s response to American absolute refusal to live up to their NAFTA responsibilities and obligations as “emotional tirades”, in those words Harper saw an opportunity to break clear of the “I would really rather be an American and so you you if you gave it some thought” image, and give the Liberal government a significant poke at the same time [.....]

The bunker is hunkering down and making preparations to defend both the Bunkerettes, and freedom of thought, speech, and conscience, against a united American Legion that has declared a new war on dissent with the president and “vowed to use whatever means necessary to ensure the united support of the American people for our troops and the global war on terrorism.” [.....]
According to the Center for Media and Democracy “Sometimes even the slickest public relations effort doesn’t improve a person’s or an institution’s image.
