President Bush Goes to Ottawa
So, it looks like W is going north to try to make some fans.
I think it is a waste of time.
The international and liberal Canadian news media are doing there best to excite protesters
I think there is going to be a huge turn out
The protesters In Ottawa have never had a world audience and I think they wont miss the opportunity to
Put on a big show.
They want two things
Indict Bush for war crimes, and, should that prove difficult
Force the Canadian government to stop its complicity with U.S. foreign policy.
The Halifax peace coalition wants President Bush arrested while in Canada
So, are you going to the protest?
And are you going to do more than wear a black armband?

Funny how the peace coalition is advocating an action that would lead to war.

Early anti-Bush demos fizzle in Canada
OTTAWA (AFP) - Hopes for early mass protests in the streets of Ottawa on the eve of Tuesday's visit by US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) fizzled out, as journalists outnumbered demonstrators.
A loose coalition of groups opposed to just about everything Bush supports had promised two demonstrations hours before Bush was due to jet into Ottawa Tuesday aboard Air Force One.
The first demonstration -- of Palestinians and sympathizers of the Palestinian cause opposed to Washington's support of Israel -- attracted less than 40 demonstrators.
According to a quick head count by journalists, the protest attracted 39 demonstrators, 42 journalists and television crewmembers and three police officers.
A second, ostensibly larger, demonstration scheduled for the midst of the evening rush hour -- was called by a group calling itself Students Against Bush.
Nobody turned up. Further protests however were expected on Tuesday.

Seems as though Canadians are the only North Americans with any common sense.
Arrest him and see that he (and his administration) are tried for their crimes.

Two Canadians are sitting in a bar, and getting bored. They decide to play 20 questions. The first Canadian tries to think of a word and after a little pondering comes up with the word: moosecock.
The second Canadian tries his first question, "Is it something good to eat?"
The first guy thinks a moment then laughs and replies "Sure, I suppose you could eat it."
The second Canadian says, "Is it a moosecock?

I forsee Bush being decapitated by a hockey stick, then trampled by caribou.
And snowed on a bit.

I'm willing to put up my salary for 2 years to the person who snipes bush, then runs up and stabs his face for good measure.
Canada kicks ass.

I sure as hell would protest if I were in Ottawa.
I hope he gets trampeled by a Mounty's horse.
