Bush Plans 'Warm and Fuzzy' Visit to Canada

By Randall Palmer / Reuters

OTTAWA (Reuters) - President Bush's visit to Canada next week is shaping up as one intended to be a softer sell to soothe troubled relations and avoid flashpoints that could end up taking over the news.

The White House has turned down an invitation from Prime Minister Paul Martin for Bush to address Parliament lest he be heckled as he was in Australia last year and as President Ronald Reagan was in the Canadian Parliament in 1987.

And Bush will spend the second half of his two-day trip visiting the Atlantic port city of Halifax, where he will be able to express appreciation for the hospitality of that city in welcoming diverted airliners on Sept. 11, 2001.

"It's not just trying to make it warm and fuzzy, although that's clearly part of it, but it's also not wanting it to be tainted by something negative ... that that doesn't become the visit," one U.S. official said. Whether it succeeds in going off without a hitch may depend partly on anti-war activists, who are hoping for as many as 20,000 demonstrators on Parliament Hill.

We are counting on you. Stick in his eye and the eyes of the cameras.

Thank to Canadians! What we can't do or won't do right now..you are doing for us.

I'm eternally grateful!

Civilized, multicultural and multilingual.
And soon to be balmy and warm, thanks to the US's screwing of the Kyoto accord.
