    I Am. Confused. by Jim Stanford, Canadian Auto Workers
    Hey! My name is Joe. I don't live in an igloo. And I am not a lumberjack.

    Well, okay, I used to be a lumberjack. But a little 19 percent countervailing tariff on softwood lumber put an end to that particular career path.

    We have a Prime Minister, not a President. And we don't have inside traders or crooked auditors. We have ad agencies.

    I'm proud of who I am. But I really want to play in the big leagues. I am hoping that a "merger of equals" will let me do that. Even if the American gets to be the CEO.
