OTTAWA -- Liberal leadership candidate Bob Rae is urging the party's MPs to vote against the softwood lumber deal, even if it means toppling the minority Conservative government and plunging into an election before the Grits have chosen a new chief.
*Bob running with scissors and SNIP*
Juicy quotes:
"My view to that would be, fine," Rae said in an interview.
"It should be a matter of confidence. It is a terrible, terrible deal and it sets an atrocious precedent for all of our trade negotiations with the U.S."
"The Liberal party can not under any circumstances allow our own internal issues to get in the way of focusing on the importance of this question in the House of Commons,"
"It's kind of a presidential slush fund that's being given to them."
