Reaction, naturally, is split based on your political point of view.  Among
a lot of environmentalists, this is another item on the "Thank you, Ralph
Nader" list -- the environmentally conscious Green Party, by taking crucial
votes in both Florida and New Hampshire, has itself to blame for the arsenic
in the water, the US position on global warming, the rollback in emission
standards for power plants, emphasis on domestic fossil fuel production
rather than conservation or alternative energy sources, rollback of the new
National Park lands, etc., etc.  I keep waiting for them to say, "No
difference between Bush and Gore" again...

Subject: Interview with Jimmy Carter


Anyone hear the interview between Michael Enright and "Jimmy Carter"
yesterday morning re the soft wood lumber dispute (Carter had written in
the NYTimes about it last week)? It was a beauty with each of them
slamming the other. I couldn't work out what was going on -- Carter of
all people. The national newspaper here (the Globe and Mail) had a front
page article complaining about the rudeness of the interviewer which
included calling Carter a washed out peanut farmer (Carter gave back as
good as he took). I guess many of us failed to note the date!

On a more serious note -- what is the reaction in the US to Bush's
statements on the Kyoto accord (and Canada's failure to show any
backbone I might add)? Is this likely to be the final word?
