Chinese President Hu Jintao Visits Vancouver

This week we were visited by China's president, Hu Jintao. He had meetings with the premier of the province, Gordon Campbell, and our prime minister, Paul Martin. I can't say that I'm a big fan of the leaders of any dictatorships but it was interesting to see the motorcade, complete with police motorcycles everywhere. I always like seeing those motorcycles! :-)
There were some protesters but they were few & far between. What's ironic is that if this had been president George Bush, from our neighbour and friend, the democratic United States, there would have been 10 to 100 times the number of protesters. That irony is so thick and an appalling indictment of the current mentality of many Canadians IMHO.
