Oh, and how about that Saskatoon niqab? It's really sheikh.

If you sheikh your booty when you're wearing one, no one will notice.

Butt, maybe that's the point.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Less than 2 hours from here - one of my favorite places, but a bit more of a drive than most others (Winter Park, Mary Jane, Keystone, Loveland, A-Basin, Breckenridge, etc.)

You can understand the force of that point without giving in to the kind of petty nationalism that regards every venture from south of the border as a plot to wreck paradise or to commandeer Canadian destiny. And you can understand it without accepting as a natural corollary that wise Canadian bureaucrats, unencumbered by special interest as they all surely are, know exactly how to manage the level of economic interpenetration between the two nations.
I can understand and would be pleased to meet you half way so long as the US doesn't put a punitive tariff on oil and gas exports from Canadian fields. Right now there isn't one. Honour your NAFTA obligations and keep it that way.

In the meantime US remains my waiver list.

Actually, since it would be a general tariff increase and not an anti-dumping, safeguards, or countervailing duty action (a la softwood lumber), Canada and Mexico would be exempt. We would in theory have to compensate countries like Norway and Qatar with tariff reductions on other goods to offset the oil tariff increase (like Qatar sells us much else), but that's a minor issue.

We damn well better be exempt. Canadian energy should receive national treatment.

Don't get me started on the softwood lumber dispute.

Nor me, though for the most part I would be on 'your' side on that one.

Actually, 'national treatment' would not be the right term. That refers to treating foreign corporations that operate in your territory no differently than you treat your own firms. The US cannot, for instance, apply more onerous emissions regulations to BMW in South Carolina than to GM in Detroit. The term does not pertain to border taxes.

You knew what I meant. That's all that matters. I know trade but not from a policy or theoretical perspective. We'll leave it at that.


Hey KB, would you be so kind as to edit down or delete that fat arsed map of some ski hill?
