Dear Prime Minister Harper,

I hope that you are taking time to prepare well for tomorrows visit of President Obama.  The fact that President Obama has agreed to come for a six hour working visit to Ottawa in the middle of February when it is cold and forecasting snow means a lot.

Take this time, Prime Minister Harper, to get to know President Obama.  Listen to what he has to say.  And respond accordingly.  I know that a lot of what is said is scripted, but there must be room for you to share an opinion, of which, I hope you share with passion and love for our great country.

In addition, I would really be happy if you could find in you the reason you wanted to lead our great country.  Forget about all the internal stuff going on right now and think hard.  Why did you want this job?  When you find that answer, you will find the passion you first showed us.  The reason you were chosen to lead our great country.  Take that passion with you when you meet President Obama.  You only get one chance to make a first impression.  This is your chance.

Best wishes tomorrow Prime Minister Harper, I want nothing more than my two favorite countries to be best friends.  We have the largest undefended border in the world, let us keep that border strong.  And let’s show President Obama that Canadians are in love with our Country and we make great friends.

Sincerely,

BeachMama

p.s.  Don’t forget to serve up some Beavertails for lunch, I am sure he would enjoy the Obamatail or even just the regular old Killaloe Sunrise.
