Bush Visit Today

Early anti-Bush demos fizzle in Canada -- Tue Nov 30, 8:31 AM ET -- OTTAWA (AFP) - Hopes for early mass protests in the streets of Ottawa on the eve of Tuesday's visit by US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) fizzled out, as journalists outnumbered demonstrators. A loose coalition of groups opposed to just about everything Bush supports had promised two demonstrations hours before Bush was due to jet into Ottawa Tuesday aboard Air Force One. The first demonstration -- of Palestinians and sympathisers of the Palestinian cause opposed to Washington's support of Israel -- attracted less than 40 demonstrators. According to a quick head count by journalists, the protest attracted 39 demonstrators, 42 journalists and television crew members and three police officers. A second, ostensibly larger, demonstration scheduled for the midst of the evening rush hour -- was called by a group calling itself Students Against Bush. Nobody turned up. Further protests however were expected on Tuesday. Efforts to contact protest organizers were unsuccessful, with the phone numbers listed by organizers remaining unanswered. ----- <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20041130/wl_canada_afp/canada_us_bush">Article Source.</a>

Oh, great..</br></br> Now B & M have reached an 'agreement'..</br></br> <blockquote>But, the prime minister said they had reached agreement on devising a common strategy for the future..</br></br> "It was indeed a productive meeting," Martin said. "In fact, we agreed to put forward an agenda in which our two nations will cooperate in a practical way towards common goals.".</br></br> "It's about working together to advance democratic values and fundamental freedoms around the world," he added.</blockquote>.</br></br> Re: the final paragraph, maybe the two of them should start in North America.</br></br> God only knows what the 'agreement' will be.</br></br> PM PM needs to hear that he doesn't have the mandate to negotiate 'common goals' without consulting citizens on what these should be.

Yeah =( Might be just as well though, I think the Canada that's coming would kill him.

What was the name of your former prime minister, the one who left office a wealthy man on a public servant's salary? Cretin? Something like that. Bush never had the time of day for him, so it must be a sop to the brittle Canadian ego that a world figure comes calling. But a reading of Bush's remarks about softwood imports and diseased Canadian cattle in effect is "We'll get back to you on that." When do you figure it will sink in that if you want to get into the game you have to learn how to play ball. Meanwhile, good work on your position on the Ukraine. It will carry the usual weight.

Best ya get your sorry butt up here and get your script filled
