Bloc will support softwood

Well, the bloc have decided to support the Cons over softwood. This is good news for the Liberals: We now maintain our dissatisfaction over the deal, but going to war on it would be stupid.

This is one thing that I asked Dryden about when I was hanging around him at Summerfling this summer: should the Liberals go into an election over softwood. His responce, which was exactly what I thought was the right thing, was that we shouldn't bother doing it now, but we should definitely remind people how much they copped out when we face an election in 6 months time.

Nobody cares enough about softwood to be able to justify an election over it now, and at least now we don't have to say, "we don't like this deal, but we'll let it pass because we're not ready for an election yet."
