"While he probably should not have said anything at all, U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins' comments last week in Ottawa were much more appropriate and intelligent. While you may not agree with him, his comments were well put."
I listened to the speech on the radio and concur his comments were intelligent and well put. As a Canadian it made me look past the election hoopla Martin feels he needs to do and at the bigger picture. The PM thumping his chest during a speech would be hilarious.
I think an end to the whole softwood lumber thing would cool the Governments comments a bit, I doubt the percentage of Casnadians who are aware of the Softwood Lumber dispute is higher than the same percentage of Americans, not that I think people are dumb for not knowing or something elitist like that but maybe it puts pressure on Martin to open his mouth, since to say nothing would be getting walked over.
Not that they handled it correctly or said the right thing, but come on do they ever?
