Yakk, your ideas are all well and good
But speaking from an in I have in the lumber industry, China is one tough fuckin nut to crack trade-wise. They get most of their lumber imports from Russia. As for exporting beef anywhere besides the USA, I'm not exactly sure about the logistics or efficiency of sending them on ships en-masse.

The House of Commons should show one face to Bush, and another to the people of Canada. He shouldn't be all that hard to fool, just kow tow to him, and he'll be molified. We should build up a trade and military deterant sufficient to deal with American threat, while speaking and acting on the surface deferentially.

I disagree with both of these. I think the HOC owes it to everyone to have solidarity in how they act. I don't know how it works with you, but someone who acts one way then another doesn't really garnish much respect from me.
As to proliferating nuclear arms... Its seems like a good idea on the surface... But do we really want that extra level of tension it would create? I think that would just complicate things.
It would also be interesting if the USA even LET us build them.
