Wilkins stays loyal to exiting president, saying Canadians will come to like him
Envoy: You’ll miss Bush - Nova Scotia News - TheChronicleHerald.ca
:-? What are you, high?
:laughing3:
Not really.... there's been plenty who followed Bush blindly from start to finish and he's apparently one of them. He didn't keep north america safe, he only supported the free trade because the US raked in more profits at our expense while making some here think we're gaining a profit, last I heard the softwood issue isn't all that resolved and last I heard, border security hasn't been all that improved in the 8 years he's been in power compared to pre-9/11. (Although more money has been dished into border security, the end results have shown to not match the funds and there is very little difference in security at the border other then more burocracy to go through)
And it's because of the "Free Trade" crap that many US based companies didn't have an issue cutting thousands of jobs from Canadian workers after Bush allowed his country to go down the economic drain.
You can differ all you want you idiot, you're not a Canadian and you sure as hell can't tell us what we think..... moron.
Ooooo.... you seen him in meetings? How amazing! And I figured he was just playing video games.
And why the hell would Bush have to caution on a common sense approach to the border, when it was him who created the whole concept of tightening up the borders, making passports a requirment, and futher slowing down traffic back and forth in the first place? Isn't that sorta like cautioning yourself on your own actions?
Holy hell this guy is doped up.
And then quickly hit the bottom of the bucket due to his incompetence in foreseeing the crap he allowed to continue under his watch.
BWAAAAA HAAAAA HAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
Fk-You buddy, how about that?
Good, two birds with one stone.... get the hell out of here.... friggin propagandist to the bitter end.
Yeah, suck some more of that ass pucker why don't you.... I think you missed some corn.
So..... do you think we're going to miss having George W. Bush as the US president?
Envoy: You’ll miss Bush - Nova Scotia News - TheChronicleHerald.ca
OTTAWA — The U.S. ambassador to this country offers an audacious prediction to Canadians who might be eager to see the back of the White House’s exiting occupant: You’ll miss George W. Bush.
:-? What are you, high?
David Wilkins says he’ll return home to South Carolina soon after the current president hands over the reins of power to Barack Obama on Jan. 20.
He has often described Bush as a personal friend and continues to defend his president in the face of bleak approval ratings back home and widespread contempt abroad.
Wilkins suggested in an interview Thursday that Canadians will come to appreciate this president once he’s gone.
:laughing3:
He described Bush as a man who has kept North America safe, who has strongly supported the free trade that has enriched Canada, and who has responded to concerns over softwood lumber and border security.
Wilkins pointed to these accomplishments and predicted the president’s crushing unpopularity in Canada will not last.
"Many Canadians might be surprised by this statement," Wilkins told The Canadian Press.
Not really.... there's been plenty who followed Bush blindly from start to finish and he's apparently one of them. He didn't keep north america safe, he only supported the free trade because the US raked in more profits at our expense while making some here think we're gaining a profit, last I heard the softwood issue isn't all that resolved and last I heard, border security hasn't been all that improved in the 8 years he's been in power compared to pre-9/11. (Although more money has been dished into border security, the end results have shown to not match the funds and there is very little difference in security at the border other then more burocracy to go through)
And it's because of the "Free Trade" crap that many US based companies didn't have an issue cutting thousands of jobs from Canadian workers after Bush allowed his country to go down the economic drain.
"But I would submit to you that Canadians are going to miss George Bush more than they think they are."
Recent polls have suggested Canadians were more than five times more likely to support the Democratic candidate, Obama, over his Republican opponent, John McCain.
Even four years ago, before the economy hit the skids and his popularity tumbled at home, one poll suggested 82 per cent of Canadians felt Bush was "not necessarily a friend of Canada."
Wilkins begs to differ.
You can differ all you want you idiot, you're not a Canadian and you sure as hell can't tell us what we think..... moron.
He said that the softwood-lumber dispute was resolved thanks to Bush’s work with the Canadian government. That the president has personally intervened on behalf of Canada when it argued against what it deemed to be excessive new border-security rules.
"I’ve seen him in meetings," Wilkins said.
"(In) bilateral meetings with the prime minister and others, (he would) caution a common-sense approach to the border and to the implementation of (the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative), and advocate that with Secretary (of Homeland Security Michael) Chertoff."
Ooooo.... you seen him in meetings? How amazing! And I figured he was just playing video games.
And why the hell would Bush have to caution on a common sense approach to the border, when it was him who created the whole concept of tightening up the borders, making passports a requirment, and futher slowing down traffic back and forth in the first place? Isn't that sorta like cautioning yourself on your own actions?
Holy hell this guy is doped up.
Without making any allusion to Obama’s own mixed messaging on NAFTA, Wilkins described the current president as an unwavering ally of the free-trade treaty that has seen Canadian exports skyrocket.
And then quickly hit the bottom of the bucket due to his incompetence in foreseeing the crap he allowed to continue under his watch.
And he says the continent is a safer place thanks to George W. Bush.
"He has protected North America. There has been no attack on North America since 9-11 and I think he deserves a lion’s share of credit for that," Wilkins said.
BWAAAAA HAAAAA HAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
Fk-You buddy, how about that?
The longtime Republican state legislator helped Bush defeat McCain in the pivotal South Carolina primary in 2000, which propelled him toward his own party’s nomination and ultimately into the White House.
He says he will be leaving Ottawa roughly around the same time that Bush leaves Washington.
Good, two birds with one stone.... get the hell out of here.... friggin propagandist to the bitter end.
Wilkins bristled at the suggestion that it might be difficult to act as the messenger of an unpopular president — and said it’s been an honour to serve the man.
"I consider it a privilege to represent President Bush and to advocate on his behalf. I don’t consider it difficult at all," he said.
Yeah, suck some more of that ass pucker why don't you.... I think you missed some corn.
The Canadian government offered a hint of its eagerness to work with Bush’s successor this week.
Less than 12 hours after Obama had delivered his victory speech, the Conservatives were already describing plans to seek a North American climate treaty with the next president.
So..... do you think we're going to miss having George W. Bush as the US president?
