U.S. word on trade 'good as gold,' Rice says

The Globe & Mail reports on Rice's visit to Canada:

The United States' word is “as good as gold” when it comes to international agreements and the current Canada-U.S. dispute over softwood lumber – while important – needs to be kept in perspective, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday.
More words, little action. Somehow Martin's people convinced Rice to visit Canada to show that Martin is doing something about the lumber dispute. It's obvious that Rice was sent just to pacify the Canadians. How long does something need to go on before this government actually decides to stand up to the US?
