What are you talking about? They didn't invite Obama.


Seriously though ... he isn't president and his popularity, especially among socialist type gov'ts, is rather low. So why'd he get invited anyways?

I can understand anti-Bush protests, but why anti-War protests?
Obama is in office. He's the one that promised to end it all by now
in instead stepped up war efforts overseas.

Odd.

Anyone with sense knows that Bush was a great president. Of course, they invited him to listen to his words of wisdom and to be able to share their gratitude for the work he had done as President. After all, he set in motion the acts that will protect the world from terrorism. I wish I could have been there.

Genocide? If your talking about all those mass un-marked graves our troops found in iraq, that wasn't President Bush.

Why should Americans give a # what canadians think?They want to disrespect are president?f**k them.

I'm going with you're referring to Carter, right?

Bush being in Canada, even if for a short stop, is a huge insult to us Canadians.

But, as usual, we're making the most of an insult, getting a little humour out of it.

There's a huge poster of bush outside the convention centre Bush was speaking at, the poster depicts bush in an orange prison jumpsuit... and the point? It's become a bit of a free carnival game : Try to hit his head with a shoe. Not sure if you get a prize or not, maybe just a cheer.

Meanwhile inside the convention centre, some schmucks are paying $250 dollars.
Some people just want to throw shoes at the real deal I guess.


Either way, letting Bush into Canada was incredibly insulting.
Clinton we don't mind... maybe we can hear him play the sax or something... but Bush's presence here is an insult to our view of the law, and the English language.

Some of the quips the local radio stations were making about his visit were amusing.
We'll always make light of a negative event though... it's kind of a speciality up here.



Thanks for the gesture, but you guys can have him back now...
... no really... please... take him back. No charge for the babysitting, just don't send him here again.
