U.S. lumber industry questions Harper's $1B aid fund

Heh, the Harper Conservatives can't even abide by the terms of their own agreements. Surprising? Not really.

and you expect this of the US?

They have been subsidizing their farmers for decades, and these funds are not supposed to be going to the industry but to the local economies affected by the lack of logging.

"But the coalition, which represents American lumber producers, says it suspects money earmarked for workers will be used to reduce liabilities of Canadian lumber companies."
What? Did we really sign a deal to prevent our government from helping Canadian comnpanies?

Who gives a rats ass what the US lumber producers think. I think we've done enough kowtowing to these bastards.

Eventually we'll prolley get taken to the courts over this. more proof of how NAFTA can fuck us over IMO.

Care to elaborate, or are you just being your normal partisan self?

Yea, I'm just being partisan. Trying to balance out mtbr a little. At least for now. If this does go further, though, then it'll just go to show that the Conservatives are every bit as two-faced as the Liberals.
