Yeah? Well you're a big meany!

Babble on.

I'm no expert on stumpage fees or trade rulings, but when the U.S. ignores trade agreements and mugs Canadian companies to the tune of $4 billion, couldn't we do something more than slap them with a lace glove and surtax their oysters, swine and cancer-sticks?

Because when we do a cool $1 billion of trade across the border every day, $14 million in retaliation seems positively underwhelming to me.

Babble off.

Classic Lib Approach part 3: Let's prove that Canada is a distinct nation, separate from the U.S., by falling in line with what the EU is doing. And let's do it right after our meeting with the President.

Classic Lib approach part 4: sell a government-owned natural resource at an artificially low (below-market) price, increase taxes on everyone else to cover the difference, and claim it's the Other Guy's fault.
