    If I understand correctly having the WTO dispute stuff remain means that Canada will probably win the lumber tariff dispute… Again. Is that how you see it?

    The WTO is a joke.

    You keep claiming knowledge you have yet to share with anyone around here. So you'll have to forgive me if I think you are full of it.

    As to doing my own homework, l have. I am rather well informed of the issues and events surrounding the NAFTA talks including but not limited to the idiocy that was trump's opening position. Perhaps you can catch up and we can actually have a discussion, but I doubt you'll have room on your homework schedule for so much additional work.

    Still waiting for the results of your homework on the age and quality of Canada’s medical equipment.

    And you have demonstrated again how the illiberal left does not understand the process of negotiation.

    I was the founding president of the desktop publishing association of Canada. (Apple was a client of mine at the time).

    Word could have been much better. I was particularly peeved that it didn't have intelligent screen refresh and all that crap they added in an effort to make it a layout app as well. Too much functionality that was NEVER used by 95% of users.
    Other than that it was pretty good at processing words.

    The OS is separated from the application layer. They are only linked thru apis. And they provided a consistent user interface and common command functions across all conforming object code compatible third party applications. Consistent look and feel was foundational to the rapid proliferation of the "personal computer". The same principles are in play today on mobile platforms.

    The silver lining for us in dealing with trump. He has forced us to look elsewhere when we were happy with the status quo, irritants and all.

    Oh I thought you were going to share you extensive notes on the subject?

    Nice projection. If you think "art of the deal" is the way to negotiate, you truly haven't done your homework.

    Parochial nationalism seems to suit you. I'm sorry I meant parochial sovereignist . Us little Canadians aren't inherently anti-american but when a giant lying dickhead starts slinging bullshit at us, we tend to get a tad uppity. You on the other hand think its great negotiating.

    That ain't schoolyard stuff unfortunately, that is realpolitik.

    Nope. Waiting for your homework to be turned in. I can provide a reading list if that would help.

    And once again the fact that illiberals do not understand negotiation is demonstrated.

    These disputes stem from the Obama Administration. I saw no reference to them in the NAFTA talks.

    And the illiberals believed and scurried into their safe spaces in fear that an increase in auto tariffs would destroy their country.
