Bill Clinton commented last night that he doesn’t think Paul Martin has any choice on the softwood lumber issue. We have plenty of resources in this country besides lumber. We should be pursuing a multi-pronged strategy on trade. Global warming, for instance, affects Canada greatly. The annual fall display of leaves in Ottawa this year was terrible — the summer was too hot, and the cold didn’t come quickly enough. Our climate is changing. I, for one, would be in favour of an export surtax on fuel to any country with excessive SUV usage per capita energy consumption.
