***Please forward to your friends & associates - we hope that you will join us for this important and timely event!*** Underestimating & Misunderstanding George W. Bush with Professor Alexander Moens, Simon Fraser University A Fraser Institute Policy Briefing Wednesday, February 5, 2003 - Vancouver The Fraser Institute Boardroom 4th Floor, 1770 Burrard Street Registration 11:45 am; Boxed Lunch 12:00 pm; Adjournment 1:30 pm *24 Hour Advance Payment Only* About the issue: The recent comments from the Office of the Prime Minister regarding George W. Bush stirred up emotions and controversy as well as a fierce discussion about the leader south of the border. Frequent fodder for harsh personal attacks and criticism, the 43rd President of the United States - and arguably the most powerful man in the world - is often casually dismissed by Canadians as a puppet or mouthpiece, especially on complicated issues such as foreign policy and security. Professor Alexander Moens will share his perspective on this powerful person and reflect upon Bush's political experience and skill on the domestic, foreign, & security fronts. Using Canadian examples and applications throughout, the ideas in this policy briefing are important to consider as Canada looks to better our relationship with our influential neighbours. About the speaker: Dr. Alexander Moens is an Associate Professor of International Relations in the Department of Political Science at Simon Fraser University. He has published books and articles on American Presidential Decision Making and on North American and European Security issues.
