Yet to be determined

As a follow-up to this post, let's note that Harper himself doesn't yet look bad as a result of Emerson's involvement in the softwood lumber affair. But while the Libs seem jealous of the idea that Harper could claim credit for the agreement, if Harper does indeed choose to accept an agreement which grants Canada less than it's already won before the NAFTA tribunal, then there'll be ample reason to doubt that he plans to "stand up for Canada" rather than happily settling for whatever crumbs Bush wants to toss our way.

(Update: The Wingnuterer expands on the same point.)
