When the president spoke here, I was amazed at how his spirit seemed to spread. I believe even the media people seemed to be enjoying this wonderful man, in spite of themselves. I think they were wondering why they had such hate for him.
I believe President Bush managed to work his way into many hearts here in Canada. He did something very deep and moving. I felt it and I saw it. I believe attitudes will change.
Below is what I posted the other day regarding his speech.
President Bush's speech was EXCELLENT.
He is so clear, so firm in his beliefs, and so bold to say what he knows to be right, regardless of how it could be received. He is a leader.
His delivery is so genuine and passionate that he could change minds just with his confidence.
His comments were far more gracious than the liberal government of Canada deserved. I believe he won over many people yesterday and today. He was truly a gentleman, showing sincere appreciation to those very kind and generous Canadians who were there to help Americans in need.
He truly makes his opponents look so small, because he is so big.
When he gets those stupid "Why do they hate you" questions, I wish he would just respond with "Because they don't know me." Then flash that big Texan smile.

Nothing succeeds like success.
The Canadians have been subjected to so much propaganda about the President. But once they met him, they saw the good, authentic and unpretentious man he is.
God bless GW.
Thank you for your kind words, as well as the help on 9/11/01. People like you are the real reason the United States will never abandon Canada. I believe governments of Canada and the US will have a much more friendly and productive relationship now that Martin's in charge.
