bel-- you guys just forgot who you are dealing with.. he is still dubya, even if he is getting better at reading what the White house press secretraries write for him.

i am not sure he realizes canada is not part of US- after all, you're american, speak english, (yeah, parts speak french, but its like new orlean, its for the tourist) and the fact is, if he went to a canadian store, saw something for sale for $1 (canadian) handed over $1 (us) the shopkeeper would not object to the US money.

for some one with the world travel experience of dubya, this might make it hard for him to remember that canada is not part of the US. he hasn't quite figured out why you guys don't get to vote,(in our elections!) but since you don't he really doesn't pay you much mind. after all he doesn't have much mind to begin with!
