No offense, but anyone who honestly thought that the US was signing a free
trade agreement with Canada for the good of Canada, was smoking

finally figuring this out now.
Yes, the Americans aren't playing fair. But we wouldn't either if we had
the power. We knew this when we signed the agreement, but we decided to
pretend that it would never happen.
