Who is the better leader of their country Bush(USA) or Harper(Canada)?  Why?

Harper has only been elected a few short months so it is not possible to compare or judge who is the better leader.\nI was not a Harper voter, but so far I must say he is taking a tight reign and I have no complaints.

I'm from Canada and I think that Bush do to his backround and resent decisions e.i. going to war with Iraq. I think Bush is in the white house for himself and does'nt realy care about the rest of the country or the world. I don't think he went to war to help the midle east I realy think he went to war for himself, for the oil. I wounder if in time he would ever try and invade Canada. We have more oil then Iraq. A lot more. I don't trust him at all. In my eyes he's the enemy. Trust me everything he's done that you think was great is a cover. He's a wolf in sheep costume. I like the American people I don't trust Bush at all and I don't like him.

I'm American, but I'd rather be Canadian. That is because Canada has better foriegn policies and there is free health care for all. Canadians do not have Bush and I hate the "American" stereotype. I'd love to move to another country.

I have no idea what nhs is, but Blair has definitely hurt his chances of being most loved by aligning himself with the US. No offence to the US people but you chose one hell of a winner there for you president. Unfortunately my fellow Canadians have done the same by electing Harper and I fear what Canada is in for in the near future. Harper is the Bush of the north. Although I think he has half a brain and that he may actually be able to hear the people when they say PULL OUT NOW!!! \n\nI digress, I don't think Blair's reputation will be that bad, but I don't think he will be most popular or most loved. Simply put, he tried to be Churchill and ended up being Fudd (Elmer).

Canada has a lot of oil. According to all the liberals, that is the only reason Bush invaded Iraq, so it makes sense that Canada would be next. Plus it's closer to home.

I would say George W Bush, but I know some Americans are going to have a go at me if I do. Apparently it's fine for Americans to have it in for their own president, but not for an English person to. I also don't like the smarmy British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Canadians are part of the Commonwealth and so have common laws and morals with England and all the countries of the commonwealth. America just stands on there own even though there laws originated in England they have changed the laws and morals to prove they're better.

The Queen is a figurehead.  She exercises no control.  Her representative in Canada is the Governor General, who is appointed by the Prime Minister, who leads the party who won the majority seats in the House of Commons.\n\nWe pick the PM, he picks the Governor General.  We control our country.  We are thus sovereign.  The Queen represents our roots and gives our laws their legality.

Canada is more concerned over the enviroment, they provide free health care for their citizens, and much more liberal than the United States (meaning you don't have to listen to people saying all day "Jesus loves you!") And, you don't have to watch boring baseball; there's HOCKEY AND SOCCER!\n\nCanada rules!

It so is.\n\nMr. Harper and Mr. Bush are both operating from the same faith-based conservative political standpoint, and so, they've got a lot to agree on. The federal budget also shows the cut of $2 billion over 5 years from the environmental programs of the past liberal government, which were geared towards adapting Canada even more to the Kyoto protocal. As it ever so happens, Harper is passing off the protocal in favor of a "made-in-Canada" approach. Atleast he's not dismissing it all togeather like our neighbors to the south. \n\nOn top of that is the recent agreements pretaining to soft-wood lumber, which in the long run will favor America as opposed to upholding fair trade.\n\nHarper and Bush are just two peas in a pod.

A BAD MODERN LEADER = BUSH--DESTROYING AMERICA AND DAMAGING THE WORLD BY SETTING HATE ON A COLLISION COURSE TO WAR.\n\nTONY BLAIR-- BAD-  SAME AS BUSH -HURT BRITIAN. HARM WORLD OVERALL..\n\nGORDAN BROWN COULD EMERGE AS A GOOD DTRONG WORLD LEADER IN BRITAIN.\n\nHILLARY CLINTON. IS EMERGING AS A WORLD LEADER ALREADY.\n\nBILL CLINTON IS STILL RESPECTED AS A WORLD LEADER AS WELL AS JIMMY CARTER.

OH CANADA ALL THE WAY!  free health care, good education, wonderful wildlife, clean air, nice ppl a it's liked around the world.  its always top 5 in best education or best country to live.  i don't even know if the US makes it onto the lists. however there are some nice parts in the US but overall Canada is where its at.\n\nIn response to democracy, Canada's govt is way more fair and equal than the US.  look at the electoral voting system in the US.  and Canada doesn't have a senate.

Ignatieff is the favourite. Dryden might of been a good choice if he had a bit more experience.  Joe Fontana was rumoured to be running, but he decided against it...his 20+ years in local and federal politics would have been a plus.Only other choice would be Dalton McGuinty.Otherwise, the Liberals are in trouble. Whomever is picked won't stand a chance against Harper as they will be unproven. Harper will win the next election in a majority.

The primier is the prime minister.  Canada, Britain, Germany, France, and most countries have a PM (The US does not).  The authorities vary depending on the constitution.  They are normally the head of the majority party in parliament.

Interesting. I would say Bush but I live in the UK and if I said that I could be arrested for glorifying terrorism. But what the hell... George Dubya Bush
