Canadians see Americans as "rude, greedy and violent..."

if the shoe fits...

Pollster Michael Adams said Canadian views of the United States this month are the most unfavorable he has seen in 25 years. His findings coincide with the results of a survey of 17,000 Canadians in June by the Pew Research Center in which 53 percent viewed Americans as "rude, greedy and violent."

with a president who's rude, greedy and violent and a population that freely elected him, what's anyone who doesn't live here supposed to think...?

but, hey....! it's condi to the rescue...

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited Ottawa Monday and Tuesday to try to soothe the rancor.

hmmm... guess not... maybe they should have sent karen hughes instead...

But her arrival served to remind Canadians of their irritation with the United States. In April, Rice pointedly canceled a visit to Canada as a diplomatic rebuke for its decision not to participate in the Bush administration's missile defense system. The decision broke a long tradition of visits to Canada by incoming secretaries of state.

The Toronto Star newspaper noted Monday that Rice visited 39 countries, traveled 167,366 miles and spent 357 hours in the air "before making the 90-minute hop to Ottawa."

when you try to make nice after flipping people off, they tend not to believe you...
