The man has treated this country like a piece of shit from the get go for some reason. I read in the Globe and Mail that Fox from Mexico feels the exact same way and he and Chretien have actually talked about the issue.
Quite a change when Bill Clinton came to Ottawa and addressed a packed parliament and got a standing ovation.

I do agree however that the problems are not one-dimensional and only caused by our incompetent liberal government who apparently do not see the value in close ties.
George Bush has also snubbed Canada several times and has obviously made it apparent that we are very low on his priority list. Even well before any of the recent problems came to light.
If only Mr. Gore had become presidentl, our relations would be much, MUCH different. *sighs*
