international - Bush to visit Canada May 5, 2003

Given the current events, it should be quite the visit if Bush comes to Ottawa on May 5, 2003 as previously announced.

President Bush will pay a state visit to Canada on May 5 for talks with Prime Minister Jean Chretien focusing on border security, the Middle East and a number of trade disputes, the Canadian government announced [in February].

It will be Bush's first official visit to Canada.

The one-day visit will also be the first meeting between the two men since an aide to Chretien resigned in late November after privately referring to Bush as "a moron." The leaders last met in Detroit in September 2002.

Chretien spokesman Jim Munson told reporters that Bush was due to make a formal address to the Canadian parliament.

Considering that Liberal members of Parliament have been competing to outdo one another in anti-Bush comments, that should be quite a show.

So there will be massive security to protect the Prez.
Plus one would expect massive anti-war demonstrations.
Yeah, that should be a great combination. posted by Richard at 20:59 / permalink (post) | permalink (numeric)
