By the way– I’ve always liked Putin for some reason…his cultural nuance likely doesn’t make much sense to people who have never lived overseas. There’s something I like about the guy and just believe– Yes, Russia in his mind must come first (as any patriotic would think)–but, I still think Canada ought to jump in to offer at the least technical whatever in the oil path there. Anyway– Putin, if you ever need a coffee buddy here in Canada just for fun I’m sure I could make you laugh once or twice. Dear Mr. Harper, why not invite Putin over for some light-hearted stuff rather than “around the table”- yawn talks and shallow figure-head appearances. Yippy- not. Putan’s a human and humanity will just always come above “agreeing-not-to-agree.”- politically. Me thinx Putin with Putin a friendly time in Canada (no politics) goes much, much further than politicking with him.
