Open letter to Paul Martin, Canada's soon-to-be Prime Minister

This is a truly interesting open letter to soon-to-be Canada's Prime Minister, Paul Martin regarding how to deal with the new reality of the US and its crazy leaders. Although I might not agree with some parts of it including the part in which Kyoto accord is mentioned, it interestingly covers many aspects of Canada's relations with the US.

Some excerpts:
"...Post-9/11, Canadians have developed a profoundly different view of the world than that of Americans."

"The more we watch CNN and George W. Bush, the less we want of America. He has re-Canadianized Canadians after a decade of free-trade integration.
Mr. Martin, you'd do well to remember that the biggest applause Jean Chrétien received — in Parliament, at the recent Liberal convention and elsewhere across Canada — was for his decision to sit out the war on Iraq."

"Mr. Martin, do visit President Bush right away. Invite him to Canada. Symbolism does matter, especially for a fresh start. But do keep your Canadian distance. Kow-towing to him and doing his bidding in the Middle East and elsewhere will only bring you grief, as Britain's Tony Blair, Italy's Silvio Berlusconi and Spain's José Maria Aznar can testify."
