Well Bush is in Canada for two days to meet with Paul Martin and speak "directly to the Canadian people" Wednesday in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In honor of the visit, a poll:

I have confirmation from a wench on the spot: they're not chuffed.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Good, that means they've been paying attention. Now let's see what they do about it.

Do you have more than one Canadian wench?

[woe2you.livejournal.com]

I have wenches everywhere. I take it from the choice of icon that you were counting yourself...

[nightxade.livejournal.com]

Well it's only fair. Considering what I count you for.

[woe2you.livejournal.com]

Then yes. Yes, I do.

There seems to be a consensus that he can't piss them off more. I wonder if he will prove us wrong?

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Never underestimate boorishness of the Shrub. I'd like to think he'll behave, but after Chile I wouldn't put anything past him.

As it stands, we apparently have some ass kissing to do in order to get our Canadian beef back into the US, so I'm not foreseeing much on the wrist slapping thing going on. Canada has been quite politely put in its place by the US since 9/11. Even our offers to help have been turned down primarily. We really don't have any kind of bargaining chip to work with.

well, you COULD always send in some of your troops to help them out with their NEXT little war - at least then, bush would have to at least THINK about any requests you might make, rather than just turning you down flat.
and talking of beef - does anyone know if british beef is still banned in france??

[nightxade.livejournal.com]

Dunno about your beef, but I think China just lifted an 18 month ban on ours.

As for sending in the troops, we did. We sent troops to Afghanistan. Then we sent more when Bush needed his people in Iraq.

when the death toll got too big, george turned to his favorite poodle close ally tony to provide extra troops for one of his recent operations in iraq - this didnt go down too well back here in the UK, but when youve got a president arsehole prime minister like that, who BLATANTLY refuses to listen to what the electorate (his employers!!) say, then its obvious that he'll do whatever it takes to get closer to george than anyone else - as long as its other people doing the fighting and dying, and him getting all the credit...

he won't even speak to parliment, because custom there makes it acceptable to "boo" or shout in disagreement.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but he'll never admit it. For a guy who likes to project a macho persona, he's really a big wuss.
