While we're on the subject of bashing foreigners, why is the Bush administration going out of it way to provoke a trade war with Canada? This was just passing news last week but Ed Kilgore mentioned it at New Donkey the
other day and it made me wonder what domestic political or
business concern could place undermining the principle trade
agreement with our largest trading partner above everything
else? Better yet, why did we go to all the trouble of creating a
free trade agreement with Canada if we weren't going to respect the
basic rules of the treaty?
