Tough Tory Deal a Sellout?
Stardate 5748.99
Gee, good old H-Dawg and his tough as nails stance with Bush to broker the Softwood agreement may not be so rosy...
I mean, they *did* get back $4 billion of the $5 billion owed, and of course, they take their $1 billion in taxes, but this seems to reek of manipulation, and threats to lumber companies as far as I can tell.
The Softwood Deal should read:
Canada Softwood industry: Bend over and take it... or else.
