I would have to say that you are right in part. Maybe giving him the finger isnt the best approach. However, Bush has not earned any respect from Canadians. I give respect when it is due. I actually live in Halifax and his motorcade drove right infront of my house. Im glad that people here showed him that we dont agree with his policies and that he took notice.
What you idea of being Canadian? letting everyone push you arourd because we are suppose to nice to stand up for what we beleive in.
The fact is that Bush came up here on only his agenda. (the 1st time in his presidency) He wants help from us, but wasn't open to hear our issues. Things have to go both ways.
Also, im tired of americans thinking they desrve respect because they think they are better than everyone else in the world. Also, there belief that they dont need the help of anyone else because they are to insignificant. Your economy wouldnt survive if Canada wasnt there to fuel you with our rich country of natural resources.
