Paying the CPC tithe

It's starting to look like the whole Canadian softwood "agreement" that the traitor Emerson pushed through is simply a way for Mini-Me to pay a half billion CA$ tithe directly to Maximum Leader Genius. And if the Canadian lumber industry doesn't go for it (as it appears they haven't, by enough of a margin so that the CPC can't just handwave themselves to a 95% buyin), the Canadian taxpayer (who is already enjoying the increased taxes that come with a Tory government) gets to pay for this tithe directly.

That's pretty impressive; Stephen Harper is explicitly making Canada into an fiefdom of the American Imperium, and the Canadian electorate isn't marching on Ottawa with torches? Did Mini-Me make a bet with the B*sh junta that he could debase Canada faster than the Evil Party debased the United States, or is this the payback for Evil Party assistance in the last election?

Here is an update on the Software Lumber Agreement:

According to the text of the SLA, the list of “meritorious initiatives” to which the $450 million was to go – that is, Bush’s slush fund – was to be “determined” today (September 1).

Yet no such list has been published.
