Open Letter to Bush from Canadian NDP Leader

http://ndp.ca/speechdetail/nid-2360

It's sweet! Some of my favorite parts:

...On your first official visit to Canada, it is unfortunate arrangements do not include an address to Parliament, and include only meetings with party leaders who more closely share your views. Sadly, my requests to meet with you were denied.

During Mexican President Vicente Fox's recent visit, he met with leaders of all parties in our minority Parliament. We enjoyed civilized, respectful dialogue. It is unfortunate such a dialogue will not occur now, resulting in you receiving a skewed view of Canada's values and concerns...

...I was proud to be part of the peace movement that helped convince former Prime Minister Chrétien to keep Canada out of the war on Iraq. More than 100,000 people have since died, and yet despite the correctness of global opposition to the invasion, your administration shows few signs of working with the world on meaningful efforts to make us all safer...

...Your administration sends the wrong message by abandoning arms control treaties while demanding other countries adhere to them. I also believe with the growing scourge of global poverty, nations with resources should invest in alleviating that poverty and encouraging sustainable development. We should not spend a trillion dollars on Star Wars when we could invest in fighting the poverty and desperation that provides fertile ground for terrorists...



Jack is fantastic!

Too many words with more that two syllables for a starter.

into phonetics:)

Bush won't read it. I mean, seriously.

I guess it just means that I'll be more likely to vote for a guy with the best porn name in the next federal election.

Of course, that doesn't oblige me to vote for the NDP in the next BC election. (Just giving you a heads-up.)
