We will see how things go with that planned meeting with GWB and Fox over economic issues. If George snubs him there, well we can forget about any normal relations in the next three years.
While Martin is generally an easy going type, if Bush snubs him here Martin won't waste his time with him. While it's important that Canada and the US maintain good relations, this tit for tat stuff will have to end. I will give Canada the fault for the first 4 years but it's on Bush's head this time around.
