Title: Official Opposition Leader & Future PM Stephen Harper meets President George W.
Post by: Lincoln on December 01, 2004, 11:03:18 AM
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.

Stephen Harper meets President George W. Bush
For immediate release: Tuesday, November 30, 2004




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.

The president did not address parliament in the capital, apparently because of the risk of being heckled.

How stupid, he should have just done it. No one would heckle him except Carolyn Parrish and no one takes her seriously anyways.

No, lefties have a place in society.  Second place.  Our great nation is balanced on the idea of seperate ideas and values and different political slants, etc.

yes. in american society, integrity, and intelligence, are second to racism and bigotry.  congratulations in becoming a bigotted supporter of a racist party.  Enjoy your kinship with KKK voters, skin heads, white supremacists, the CoCC, Strom Thurmond, Trent Lott, and racist voters all throughout republican strongholds, i.e. the south, i.e. racist america.  Now please go listen to Tim McGraw, and stop posting in a hiphop forum.
