OTTAWA -- Two of the major issues that will be addressed during a two-day summit between President Bush and the leaders of Canada and Mexico were spotlighted in news outlets this morning -- the war on terror and illegal immigration.
Mr. Bush will thank Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper for his commitment of 2,500 Canadian troops to Afghanistan through February 2009. But antiwar protests by Canadians in the resort town of Montebello, 50 miles east of Ottawa, are expected to be large.
Mr. Bush and Mexican President Felipe Calderon are expected to discuss immigration issues. The U.S. president's immigration reform plan was defeated in Congress this summer.
