Besides George Bush, the first visit of the new American president has always been Canada. Should be interesting to see how much media hoopla their is.

He could gain a great deal of respect from me if he marched over and punched Jack Layton right in the head.

Unfortunately that little weasel is going to suck up to Obama more then anyone. I predict more then usual embarrassing comments from Layton during this trip.

Whats ironic is in the US, Stephen Harper's policies would be considered even more left wing than Obama's.

I saw this in another thread so I just thought I'd point it out.

It's Barack Obama, not Barak.

And hopefully the two nations will have greater cooperation again now that Bush is gone.

Oh I fully understand that, and that comment was more about Jack Layton being a weasel then politics.

They had pretty good cooperation while Bush was here. Better then we had when the Liberal's were in power anyways.

Man, I'd love to see our two countries work together to come up with some sort of REAL advances in clean technology. There's no reason why we can't turn the current challenges into opportunity for our countries.

Some nice "Hope" for a "Change"

Actually he should whip out a cig, light it up, and blow the smoke in his face.
