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?
