I also heard he snubbed Layton and the Bloc of Bosheviks for a private meeting with Harper?

You didn't see Bush heading across the river for a visit to Quebec did you?

"I also heard he snubbed Layton and the Bloc of Bosheviks for a private meeting with Harper?"

First, it was not a snub. Conventional protocol is that he would meet with the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition.

OTOH, usually there is a majority government so third and fourth party leaders do not have the political significance that they do in a minority government situation.

But Layton and Duceppe both whined a lot and finally Bush and Martin argeed that they could have a "meet and greet" with Bush.
