This is designed to convince us of the need to walk on eggshells when he gets here, keep protesters out of sight and perhaps whisk outspoken Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish to an undisclosed location outside the capital.

Of course we already gave it to them -NAFTA.
They ignore reality. That reality being they need us more than we need them. All the northern states have their trade so intertwined with Canada they would also come to a screeching halt if they 'close the border'. Now add in the growing amount of energy we ship them, and it is rather clear, we have the upper hand, not the Americans, or the conservative cheer squad in Canada.
Go ahead and protest. Let them whine and cry and act ashamed. If they had their way we would be in Iraq alongside the 'coalition' of the bribed. Canadians have spoken loud and clear - the majority of Canadians want nothing to do with the Bush government, their wars or their way of doing things. We have no reason to hold anything back. We are a sovereign nation, and as such can do and say whatever we want. There are no 'free speach zones' in Canada yet.
