The same way the Liberals 'handle' themselves every other time?  Get  
your mind out of the gutter (or leave it there the result is the  
same), they'll screw us and get richer.  The heck with NAFTA!  We got  
screwed.  Lets face it, there is no 'free trade' between us.  And  
since the US economy is going to take a serious beating when GM goes  
belly up (followed by Ford and Chrysler), what do we have to loose?   
A busted trading partner (with big guns) looking for another source  
of cheap oil closer to home?  We should also keep our natural gas as  
well, and hide it all in underground bunkers...  Wait a second!  That  
was a trick question, wasn't it?

Sell the best of it to Japan.  They pay more.  The rest if for us.   
I'd rather have hardwood building supplies for our homes than the US  
having hardwood boardroom tables.  Sell that wet softwood to the US.   
Cheap even!  It would look good on them to have their new  
construction rotting, warping and twisting...

Corn is cow and pig food.  Sell it cheap to the americans, they are  
going to need a cheap food supply shortly...

Bring it on!  It's easy for our tobacco farmers to switch to hemp,  
and it has more uses than cotton ever will.  Just ask the US cotton  
growers who banded together to make marijuana illegal in the first  
place.  It had NOTHING to do with it's medicinal uses.

Awww...  Jeeze, I'd better switch to decaf!  [;^)
