The most pernicious part of the softwood capitulation engineered by Harper, Emerson and Wilson is the attack made on the sovereignty of the provinces of Canada.<BR/><BR/>Harper made the provinces subordinate to the government of the USA in his softwood sellout.<BR/><BR/>And the Bloc – normally so insistent on the rights of the province of Quebec – are going to vote in favour of the law that subordinates the power of the province of Quebec to the USA.<BR/><BR/>Are the Liberals going to allow the Bloc to agree to such a surrender of government powers?CuriosityCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485015529428901518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1156273219718380362006-08-22T15:00:00.000-04:002006-08-22T15:00:00.000-04:00I saw Peter Julian, NDP interviewed this morning. ...I saw Peter Julian, NDP interviewed this morning. He claims Canada only had two more legal battles that if won couldn't be appealed and this it would only take approx 12 months. So why in hell is Harper settling for this?<BR/><BR/>The NDP were constantly on Paul Martin's case to hurry with this file. Hearings and trials take time and now their saying only two more hearings?<BR/><BR/>I gather that Harper and gang have pretty much said to the industry take or leave it an no help from this "new" government. So, what choice do they have. They aren't agreeing - they're submitting with no choice. This really smells. <BR/>We've been bullied and sold down the river by Harper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
