Bush Thanks Canada for Not Flipping Him Off

Bush_finger_web_2"I frankly felt like the reception we received on the way in from the airport was very warm and hospitable, and I want to thank the Canadian people who came out to wave - with all five fingers."  [G.W. via AP]

The truth is -- Bush's first visit to Canada since his Presidency was met by a barrage of

thousands of protesters, each armed with signs asking the President to "please leave" calling him an "assassin" and  "war criminal".  Hardly a "warm and hospitable" welcome.

In 2003, Bush imposed a ban on beef imports from Canada, all for a lone case of mad cow syndrome attributed to a piece of Alberta beefPrime Minister Martin made a not-so-subtle reminder during Bush's Canadian visit to lift the ban, serving the President Alberta beef for dinner.
