WASHINGTON (AP) --President Bush's first foreign visitor when he took office was Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien but Bush never returned the gesture with an official visit to Canada -- a sign of the recent tension between the two countries.

Good for Canada, any move from the far left is better for them and us.
Time will tell to what extent.

You've got far more friends up here than you realise. I assure you of that.

Of that, I am sure! They're just not occupying many positions in government. Regards....

[what's up]

If CNN says Martin is pro-American, then probably the opposite is true.

[SB00]

Anyone is pro-American when compared to Crouton, Chirac and that gang.

[Redbob]

"Martin said the U.S. decision was 'very difficult to fathom,...'"

Indicating either colossal stupidity, or "disingenuousness" bordering on the pathological.

Either way, this doesn't bode well for the Canucks.

Take a look at this.

Naturally 'Pro American' is an insult to the likes of CNN

"I think action by Martin's new government that Canada will take America's security needs seriously would be a great start."

You won't see it, nor will you see support for the war on terror. You will hear more weasel words though. Martin is just another sleazy politician from Quebec, he has no more principles than his old boss. Any one who thinks different is sporting rose colored glasses.
