"MAYBE IT'S THAT SMUG LITTLE SMILE. His penchant for fantastically expensive military photo-ops. Or the swaggering, belt-hitching walk that cries out for a pair of swinging saloon doors. And though, God knows, we have too many of our own syntactically challenged politicians to be casting stones, shouldn't the leader of the free world know that "misunderestimate" isn't a word? Yes, we're cavilling, but clearly there is something about George W. Bush that gets under the skin of Canadians. After all, vehemently disagreeing with the policies of American presidents is almost a national pastime. There has to be another explanation for our extreme reaction, the desire afoot in the land to see him turfed from office. That and the unprintable sentiment about him and the horse he rode in on. Even before we know whom he will be running against this fall, Canadians have made their decision. Only 15 per cent, according to an exclusive new Maclean's poll, would definitely cast a ballot for Bush if they had the opportunity. And if Americans remain almost evenly divided -- some 50 per cent approve of his performance in the White House and he's running neck and neck with his likely Democratic challengers -- there is no such dithering on this side of the border. Just 12 per cent of us feel Canada is better off since he took office, and only a third of respondents will admit to liking the world's most powerful man, even just a little bit."

3. I am disappointed that so many Canadians would vote for *

I know the shrub has a lot of people in the U.S. fooled but I would hope that Canadians would be more objective about shrub's obvious flaws. 15% is way too many to be fooled by shrub, given the Canadians more objective perch. Maybe they are suffering from not enough blue light this winter?

4. Why on earth would 15% vote for him?

I mean here we have the enormous egos of the fools who caused this mess being unable to admit they were dead wrong, but why would you vote for him if you are Canadian??? I'm sure the PNACers will get around to stealing Canada's resources as well.

5. The fundie, repuke-north element

makes up about fifteen percent. The old Reform-Alliance base worships Bush and all things Republican.
