NAFTURD stinks.

This is a huge can of worms.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Time to circle the wagons and lock and load.

If this were not so pitiful, it would be funny. Any more "trade" agreements and enviro nazi bullying bumping heads may give the rest of us a break! I hope they all eat each other alive and leave the rest of us alone.

[PersonalLiberties]

just wrong

[farmfriend]

please ping your list!

Unfortunately, my hard drive with the list is non op at the moment. I will do so as soon as I can.

Precious. I say we put all the free trade and enviro whackos together in a cage and let them scratch each other's eyes out.

[F.J. Mitchell]

LOL! That would be poetic justice.

[greasepaint]

This is BS.
Why is Methanex sueing the US for something California supposedly did?

[AuntB]

It's probably because of some legaleeze mumbo jumbo on page 5 MILLION in the Endangered Species Act.

[AuntB]

Excuse me...NAFTA....I forget which volume of worthless laws, treaties, regulations I was ticked off at the moment. So much BS, so little time.

[forester]

Interesting. Looks like there is a potential for US enviromental law to be overturned - not by over regulated americans, but by foreign companies deprived of profit. This is Alice in Wonderland stuff for sure!

[greasepaint]

some info,
Canadian Methanex is claiming that the MTBE
ban is really a decision by California
to use ethanol from -->US<-- farmers,
''''unfairly'''' favoring the US.

[Carry_Okie]

I can just see it: Foreign corporations will successfully cite the fifth amendment for a regulatory taking, where American citizens are routinely ignored.
