I thought this would be interesting to post...

The CBC has this story about Bush's visit to Canada:


The president and prime minister are expected to discuss a number of issues during the visit, which is seen as an attempt to repair relations that have deteriorated in recent years, exacerbated by former prime minister Jean Chr�tien's decision to keep Canadian troops out of the war in Iraq in early 2003.

While CNN has this story:


President Bush sought Tuesday to patch up relations with Canada after years of bickering, flying to the capital for talks with Prime Minister Paul Martin on trade, security and a host of tough hemispheric and global issues.

Bush's landing marked the first official visit by a U.S. president in nearly 10 years -- a meeting that was akin to a political dance where the president was trying to avoid any missteps that could amplify anti-Americanism north of the U.S. border.

Relations between the Bush administration and Canada got off to a rocky start when Bush, a new president, chose Mexico instead of Canada as the first country he'd visit.


What I find interesting is that the CBC - the Canadian media - lead with Canada's responsibility in deteriorating relations between the two countries, while CNN starts off with President Bush's responsibility...
