Bush's legacy cuts at the Can-Am core

Globe and Mail by Lawrence Martin | Jan. 12, 2009 (Comment)

George W. Bush is already ranked by historians, pundits, scholars, scuba divers and bellhops as an appalling president. His any remaining narcissism has surely been obliterated, so no need to pile on. But in the continental context, there's his impact on Canada.
