Guess we'll never know what goes on in that head of his, and shame on me for misremembering the Prime Minister at the time. I had a Canadian roomie at the time, he was more shocked that Bush didn't know what Poutine was. Hey, anyone remember the Free Freedonia flap from 1992?

During the early 1990s when ethnic [[Muslim]]s were being slaughtered in the former Yugoslav republics, some reporters called members of congress and asked them their position on the ethnic cleansing going on in Freedonia. Only one congressman admitted he wasn't familiar with the situation, the rest universally condemned the slaughter. The problem was, there's no such nation as Freedonia, it was from a Marx Brothers movie. It goes to show, people don't want to admit they dont' know what you're talking about.
Reviewing the Bush footage:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mi2kUebJy8 it does look like Bush was kind of blitzed by that reporter (they only said the name once, in a loud crowd and Bush seemed genuinely suprised at the 'endorsement'). On the other hand, Bush refers to Canada as 'our most important neighbor to the north'. As opposed to who? [[User:Maestro|Maestro]] 23:22, 6 February 2008 (EST)
