Canada's
US Friendship Hits a Reefer Snag
By Robert Lusetich, Los Angeles
Correspondent
Source: Herald Sun
The long-standing alliance
between the US and Canada, strained at best in recent months, is officially
going to pot.
Canada, which was a vocal opponent of the US war against
Iraq – resulting in President George W. Bush cancelling today's scheduled
meeting with Prime Minister Jean Chretien because it clashed with the weekend
visit by John Howard to his Texas ranch – is now infuriating the US with plans
to decriminalise marijuana.
"You expect your friends to
stop the movement of poison to your neighbourhood," said the Bush
administration's drugs czar, John Walters, who fears drugs will seep through the
border shared by the two countries.
It is just the latest example of Canadians not doing
anything right in US eyes, from Mike Weir (a left-hander to boot) winning
America's most prestigious golf tournament, the Masters, to the suspicion by
some Americans that Canadians are spreading SARS south of the border.
And it all has the Canucks – whose gross domestic
product relies heavily on trade with their southern neighbour – worried.
The man who is favoured to replace the maverick Mr
Chretien next year, Paul Martin, has called for a cabinet-level committee to try
to repair relations with the US.
"Our bilateral relations must be conducted on a far
more sophisticated basis than (they have) been to date," he said.
Another leading Canadian politician, the Canadian Alliance
party's Jason Kenney, accused Mr Chretien of "mismanaging our most
important bilateral relationship".
"Relations between Canada and the US are at their
lowest level in years and there is no doubt the White House is sending a signal
(in failing to reschedule Mr Chretien's meeting with Mr Bush)."
Although there were existing tensions on trade issues, the
bad blood between the long-standing allies boiled over in the lead-up to the
invasion of Iraq. A Canadian cabinet minister said Mr Bush was "not a
statesman", senior Chretien aide Francois Ducros called the US President
"a moron" and Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish referred to the "damned
Americans".
"I hate those bastards," she said.
"Those remarks did not go by unnoticed," said
Thomas D'aquino, president of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, whose
organisation worried about the economic impact of upsetting the US.
The US ambassador to Canada, Paul Cellucci, warned of the
strain on relations and said there was "disappointment . . . and
concern" in Washington about Ottawa's positions.
But in truth, insiders say, Mr Bush has long loathed Mr
Chretien, a liberal – and great friend of Bill Clinton's – who publicly
supported Al Gore in the 2000 presidential election.
"Chretien crossed diplomatic lines in showing support
for Gore," said Chris Sands, an expert on US-Canada relations at the Centre
for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
"Before September 11, Bush found Chretien a pain in
the neck, but they were both professional enough to keep it under control. Since
9/11, it has got steadily worse."
Canadian firms have also noted that their telephones
aren't ringing off the hook as contracts go out to rebuild Iraq.
The SARS scare in Toronto – where 23 people so far have
died of the respiratory disease – hasn't helped either.
Cruise ships in the US stopped accepting Torontonians and
tour buses from Canada's biggest city were being turned away by casinos at
Niagara Falls.
"If you visit Canada," Niagara Falls, New York,
mayor Irene Elia told her residents, "you should wash your hands
frequently."
