Part 3. Exercise
Comment: Christy Clark's bravado and bluster about Donald Trump and the softwood lumber issue is rich especially when another article in the Globe postulates that her policy on export control is to blame for US retaliation in the first place. She is grandstanding in view of the election and the only job in BC that matters to her - her own. Even her softwood lumber envoy, David Emerson, is staying at arms length from her ham handed politics on softwood lumber. Anybody but Christy on this file as well.
Answer:
Non-identity-attack
