I think that it's great that Bush is taking time to meet with other leaders and places than most US Presidents usually do. It shows a willingness to work together as 2 countries.

November 30:  Stephen Harper met with President George W. Bush for 30 minutes today to discuss Canada-U.S. relations.  The President was accompanied in the meeting by Secretary of State Colin Powell, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice and U.S. Ambassador Paul Celluci.  At the invitation of the Leader, Alberta M.P. Myron Thompson also attended the meeting. Mr. Thompson's son has served with the U.S. Army in Kuwait and more recently, in Iraq.

In his meeting with the President, the Leader raised a number of cross-border trade and continental security concerns, including access of Canadian livestock to the U.S. market, the ongoing softwood lumber dispute and modernization of the NORAD defence agreement between the two countries.

I don't think that Bush declined, I believe it was our Canadian officials who didn't want him to. The reason is because the Liberals recently kicked a rabid anti-American out of the caucus so they can't control her. The parties could have controlled all their MPs, but I don't think Canada wants another Reagan/Robinson situation.
