Canadian Prime Minister ATTACKS Prez Bush
 

Chrétien talks about differences with Bush

ATHENS - A candid Prime Minister Jean Chrétien told reporters on a flight to Europe Tuesday that he and U.S. President George Bush have many opposing views.

After shooing away TV cameras and microphones, Chrétien answered reporters' questions for 45 minutes, speaking with unusual candour.

Chrétien spent the day in Athens at the annual Canada-European Union summit.

He'll next head to Evian, France, for the G-8 summit. He said he was asked to lead the G-8 leaders' discussion on economic issues because of Canada's record.

Chrétien said his government has had a string of budget surpluses while the "right-wing" government in Washington is running up a $500-billion deficit.

Chrétien highlighted several differences between himself and Bush.

He said Bush opposes abortion while he favours a woman's right to choose.

Bush supports capital punishment and Chrétien does not. Chrétien supports gun control and Bush does not.

And Chrétien acknowledged he is closer to former president Bill Clinton, a Democrat, than the current office holder.

He added the differences have not harmed the $1-billion-a-day trans-border trade between Canada and the U.S.

Calling the comments "just plain dumb," Tory leader Joe Clark accused the PM of "going out of his way to anger the White House" and complicate U.S.-Canada relations.

Chrétien and Bush spoke by phone on Monday, their first conversation in three months.

Chrétien pointed out that Canada is recognized for its global contributions and remains an influential voice internationally.

He also complained that Canadian reporters have underplayed his successes on the world stage.

Chrétien said he was the first world leader to raise human rights issues in China.

He said he galvanized the world to enact the ban on landmines, establish an international criminal court and commit to an action plan to help Africa.

GROW AMERICA.

we're still looking for intelligence in anyone opposing Bush.:1orglaugh

12clicks is gay

1) Where is that ATTACK?

2) All that stuff is well known, where is the story here?

Ok, it's a sick fucking day in hell when I actually start to LIKE Chretien? Why is it near the END of his career he grows some fucking balls. Threaten Canada-US trade? Wtf, with the US dollar falling to shit, it doesn't do anything for us anyways. They just closed the biggest particle board manufacturing plant in eastern canada right here in my town because the dollar rose so much that it isn't worth running the plant to manufacture anymore.. their primary customers were U.S. customers. It's the first time the plant has NOT functioned in something like 20 years (it goes 24/7 365).

Why? Because Bush is a fucking buttmunch who needs to realize that all the pretty ceremonies and posing are NOT going to stop his country from breaking up like a ship on the iceburg that is his government. Fucking idiot. I can honestly say at THIS point, I feel sorry for Americans. Things are ONLY going to get MUCH worse than better.

Shit!... That means, if this is correct, that the "thing" in Washington has actually not spoken to, Chretien, Chirac, Schroder and several others in over three months.

In the instances of Chirac and Schroder the "thing" is on a "huff trip" - kinda like a spoilt brat in heat. Amazingly childish behavior and "disturbing"....

I'd rather be us than a country depedant upon us. :Graucho
"oh no! what will we every do??? the US won't buy our particle board! damn that Bush"
give me a break. we're in the biggest housing boom since the end of WWII and canada can't sell particle board?
You'd be better off feeling sorry for yourselves.

You're not too bright are you.

oh, is someone sad to be discovered irrelevant?:1orglaugh

SexySarah,

you got moxy.

M-m-m-oxy.

12clicks is a raving lunatic monkey. Hes a newbie too.

A newbie to logic. Give the guy a break.

You think others may be thinking they are irrevelant? Sorry to disappoint you, but na, the were not thinking that. Many of the countries the "thing" has not communicated with are *much* more relevant to the US at this time and in the near future.

This just shows what a total asshole the US public elected as a "President" and how much they have been conned by his bullshit since he was elected! Amazing shit! :1orglaugh

By the way... this "irrelevant" word.. that is another joke used by the Admin in their pathetic struggle!:Graucho

dude, less Al Jazeera. More, well.....anything else.:1orglaugh

I know it's a chat board and cryptic messages may be the norm, - but ya thought about constructing a sentence in some form of English to have any meaning??? :1orglaugh

He doesnt have to. He is an internet entepreneur.

hello, kettle? the pot is looking for you.:1orglaugh

I will kindly ask you to refrain from calling Al Gore a "total asshole".

Oh wait..you meant Bush.

The US Public did not elect him, the supreme court did.

Really???

12Clicks:

Now.. about this English. It appears you not only cannot construct a sentence, but are unable to spell as well... so,

"rable" spelling goes like this - "rabble"

and... I know you must be "board" but,

"board" spelling goes like this - "bored"

I hope this is both an insight regarding yourself and helpful in the future.:winkwink:

lol. Nice one Sarah :thumbsup

and 12clicks, I don't need to resort to racist comment ( check to see what is racism...)

I could easily call you a zionist jew... but I wont.

:321GFY

Bush certainly isn't making many pals.

well, accept his little bum buddy Tony Blair.

"anything else you canadian simpleton?"

That is not a racist comment...seems to mean you need to look the word racism up.

:1orglaugh

There are two types of people:

1) Those that sit around and bitch and moan and cry about things.

2) Those that say "fuck it" and go out and make shit happen.

Most people fall into category #1, probably because it's easy and requires very little effort. In general, these types of people have not accomplished much in life, and as a result, nobody cares about what it is they're always bitching about.

Say what you will about any world leader, either good or bad, but at least they get off their ass every morning and make shit happen. Do you?

You get your :2 cents: I guess.

assclown, first, I suggest you look at sales. then I suggest you understand that here in the US our economic trends last for years. Only in your part of the world would a one month snapshot have any meaning.
Oh, and what was racist? "canadian" or "simpleton"

Do you come from a long line of simpletons?


Webby, your grammer and spelling are so good you'd think you could succeed with such a head start over me.
And yet you haven't.
:1orglaugh
Can I hire you to proof read for me? That way you'll make a little money in this Biz.

12clicks:

DUH??? You are too "special"!!!

Sorry.. I mean in need of specialist treatment :winkwink:

its all about a target audience.

:glugglug

12clicks:

Mmmm... well it is your free choice to use this as a sig :1orglaugh

wtf...how stupid!

whatever gets you though the disapointment you call a life.:1orglaugh

someone please blow up quebec, i think i speak for the rest of the country ontario needs to go to.

julia:

I think JMM was "keeping the face" when he said the Supreme Court elected him :glugglug

hehe why quebec?? Why not BC?? Or Alberta??
Or is it because it's the only province you know in Canada??

12clicks:

Well... some said you may not be too bright...

keeping the face - yeah! Like it happened!

theres a massive bunch of morrons here, I just can't get over the fact that everytime I come on this board there's a thread about americans hating canadians!! It's so pathetic.

I'm as dumb as a wall which should make my success that much more bitter for you (and you do a good job showing your bitterness):thumbsup

will you be speaking at cybernet expo? after all, a smart guy like you must know *something* of value.

Stupid????

FACT: The U.S. Public DID NOT elect George W. Bush. The popular vote was in favor of Al Gore. It was the antiquated electoral college that elected George Bush. It was the senior Bush cronies on the supreme court that prevented further investigation into the irregularities in Florida that also elected George W.

So.. WTF this.. more americans voted for Al Gore than for George Bush.

What part of this caused your.. "wtf...howstupid!"?

Its not americans hating canadians, its canadians always preaching about how great they are. Instead of being humble and just knowing they are a great country, they feel the need to constantly tell the world (and especially americans) that they are better than everyone else.

thats a sad statement coming from a proud american.

Did I say I hated Canadians???

I love Canadians!! In fact... tomorrow night I am going to pop open a beer (probably a japanese one) and sit in front of my big screen and watch the canadian team kick ass in the stanley cup finals!! Oops..wait..that was last year...oops..the year before? oops, the year before that? Shit...hang on..I think I am going to have to go back about 10 years. Damn...and I was trying to make a point.

well he had to have half of the whole fucking country voting for him!! That means he was elected by the public cause if he wasn't he would not be there! DO YOU UNDERSTAND DEMOCRACY NOW??

with no proof to back it up.:1orglaugh

I think you got that the wrong way....

I'm not American.
