Jeb Bush Comes to Canada, Promotes Travel
The Associated Press
Published: Jul 7, 2003


TORONTO (AP) - A Bush visited Canada on Monday, but it wasn't the one everybody has been waiting for.
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush spent the day in Toronto promoting travel to his home state and talking up close ties between the North American neighbors despite strains between his brother and Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.

President George W. Bush postponed a planned trip to Canada in May, with little chance he will reschedule before Chretien steps down in February. The men have been at odds over the war in Iraq, which Chretien refused to support, and economic and trade issues.

Jeb Bush, a Republican like his brother, avoided discussing the friction Monday, instead emphasizing the close ties between the countries and the importance of Canadian visitors to Florida.

1. Please, please keep him up there

We don't want him back in FL anymore. Can't the Canadians hold him on some charge or another? How about impersonating a human being?

2. jeeb has a lot of gaul.....he's trying to destroy Florida ,,,and he's ...

out hawking for customers,,,,to make up for all his tax cuts and enron busting the State pension fund.......he's giving the State away!!...And letting the polluters and corporations take over...

will he ever go and fuck off?

3. Nobody's waiting for his brother either

That's just newspaper filler...2 out of 3 Canadians hate Dubya Bush.

Jeb just discovered that pissing off the neighbors costs Florida money.

4. I thought the stink factor was lower here today, please keep him

[UrbScotty]

5. I think Canada deserves to have Jeb for a while.

:D

15. St. James Bay would be a nice place to send him

way up on the Tundra where one can only get to by plane. :bounce:

6. I know how they could get him arrested in Canada.

They should plant some marijuana on him. Oh, wait. Scratch that.

7. Canadians should boycott Florida

Florida still has the sodomy laws in its books (though they are ineffective now)...and its the only state in USA which bans adoption by gays and lesbians.

Canadians should spend their money in countries / states with a better record of human rights.

8. Why would any Canadian want to go to Florida, with Cuba so close?

Canadians are free to travel to Cuba, unlike US citizens who are imprisoned behind the Neocon curtain.

Jeb Bush would have more luck inticing the captive US citizens to spend their money in Flordia. Canadians with their freedom to travel, will probably continue to avoid trips to bannana-Republican states such as Texas or Florida.

11. I agree, however....

Many Canadians find it kinda hard to drive to Cuba. :)

9. I wonder if there were any protesters

The article doesn't mention any.

10. Guess Jebby's going to need all the "devious" methods...

He can muster to entice Canadians to take HIS word for it and visit Florida...Hey, Canadian DUers, can you imagine ANY friend or neighbor of yours being persuaded by Jeb Bush to visit Florida? :eyes:

Florida's Tourism Board ought to seriously contemplate sending someone--ANYONE--else on their next Canadian junket! :crazy:

B-)

[Cha]

13. Canadians are too Smart by Far to be taken in by that fat,,,

devious pol,,,It's going to be a Glorius Day when the bush brothers have been driven out and can't steal from the American People anymore...

[glarius]

14. Maybe Jeb will suffer a pie-ing...that's what we do up here to politicians

we don't like....He'd better duck if he sees anyone with a cream pie...!

[Hand]

16. Yep--They nailed Fatass Klein today

I'm quite pleased--that alcoholic Dubya-wannabe arsehole had it coming. Pity there wasn't a rock in it.
:evilgrin:
