Citing war, PM cancels Washington trip Chretien was to receive award from environmental group

[Beck_isright]

He wasn't welcome here anyways. PM Yellow Stain has more pressing issues, you know, like deploying RCMP's to protect baby seals or looking for more french whores in Montreal to invite to his offices.

Not all the Canadians are as weaselly as Chretien Canadian Friends of America

[shadowman99]

That's fine. Keep your sniffles at home.

Too bad! I had a paper bag full of s*** to welcome him with.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

He's doing this because the Bush administration hinted that Bush would not be traveling to Canada, as scheduled.

Pre-emptive Protest. Chretien protested the U.S. before the U.S. had a chance to protest him.

[caisson71]

"Citing the war" is exactly correct but he is not talking about the war in Iraq. He's talking about his battle in Canada.

Don't worry, we understand. Remember, we lived 8 years with the constant embarrassment of President Clinton and his administration. The Canadians on Free Republic who offer their support to the Operation Iraqi Freedom effort are greatly appreciated! Hold your head up, we're involved in the noblest of causes. And that includes you.
