If you happened to see Rick Mercer's "Talking to Americans" special on CBC last night, you would realize that Americans would have little clue as what Bastille [pronouced Bass-till] Day represents. Maybe something about fishing?
George Bush, when still campaigning, was asked by Mr. Mercer; "Mr. Bush, the Canadian Prme Minister, Jean
Poutine has endorsed your candidacy and looks forward to you leading the world into the 21st century." Mr. Bush proceeded to say that he was please with the prme minister's endorsment and that he knew the prime minister and looks forward to meeting him.
This was during a campaign stop in Michigan, you know the state next door that we conduct trade with to the tune of about 55 billion per year? Both the Governor and Secretary of State (Michigan) also had similar comments about the endorsment of Mr. Bush by Prime Minister
Poutine.
I'm going to watch hockey now.
