I would assume so. It would be impolite to refuse food especially when
you're willing to accept flu shots.

LOL.
Actually, I was thinking how nice it was that he traveled all the way out to
Nova Scotia to express hi gratitude to the people who opened up their homes to
tens of thousands of stranded American travelers after American air space was
closed following 9/11.

It only took him 3 years and 3 months to acknowledge what they did, but better
late than never. ANd he thanked the people of Halifax Nova Scotia, though the
bulk of the diverted aircraft went to Gander Newfoundland, Maybe those people
will see the president's address on television.

Now, now. He did thank the people of Newfoundland -- unfortunately his
speech writer doesn't seem to know that the name of the province was
officially changed to 'Newfoundland and Labrador' 3 years ago. And there
were representatives from Newfoundland and Labrador at the ceremony at Pier
21. The ones from Happy Valley-Goose Bay were front and centre.

You Americans will not be picking any Alberta beef out of your teeth for a
long time. The Shrub told us that unless Canada signs up for Star Wars II,
there will not be any Canadian beef shipped to the U.S. Too bad, it is
excellent beef.

Perhaps sooner than you think.

From Canadian Cattlemen's Association:

On November 19, 2004 the rule to allow the importation of live cattle
and an expanded list of beef products into the U.S. from regions at
minimal risk for BSE moved the next step in the administrative
process. (Canada is a minimal risk country. According to world
organization for animal health (OIE) guidelines, a minimal risk
country can have up to 2 cases of BSE per million head of cattle
diagnosed each year. The cattle population in Canada is currently
approximately 14 million head.)

I'll believe it when I see it. He told our Prime Minister that it will
take the beaurocracy 5 months to get ready. Don't spark up yer BBQ in
anticipation. The U.S. power structure is still ****ed off at us for not
jointing the "Coalition of the Willing" The whole situation makes no sense.
Canadian farmers are starving and U.S. consumers want the beef as a shortage
has pushed up prices.
The vast majority of beef processed in Canada is done by three American
Corporations. (Cargill, OK Packers and ????)They are now making obscene
profits as farmers are getting virtually nothing for live animals. In
Quebec, downer or hamburger cows go for $0.18/lb yet the cheapest fatburger
sells for $3.29/lb. These farmers have the audacity to ask for a floor price
of $0.42/ lb but the processors say NO. This summer, at the peak of BBQ
season, T-Bone steak could be purchased for a mere $25.99/Kgm. One farmer
stated that after he delivered his beef to the packer, after all costs were
deducted, he had $1.53 remaining. Not enough to buy a hamburger in a
restaurant. Another farmer said he had enough money left to purchase a 2 1/2
roast.
Some wise person postulated that each beef cow crossing the border
between Canada and the U.S.A. should have a flask with 20 shots of flu
vaccine around it's neck.
Unfortunately, the U.S. signs trade agreements that it consistently does
not honour. Perhaps if Alberta beef is considered not good enough for U.S.
consumers, Alberta oil sould be looked upon the same way. Freeze in the dark
you bunch of *******s!!!!
