nafta, it was to me in substance saying what we re not going to do is screw this up, we re going to make it better, we re going to improve it, without using the buzzword nafta. so i took more substance out of what was said than just using the marquee name. the other thing i have to observe, i m always intrigued by the fact that opportunities like this are used to talk about the issues of the day as opposed to the issues of the relationship. it s a press conference of the prime minister of canada and the united states. i know the convention is, whenever the president is available, ask him any question that s possible. but i actually hoped there would be more questions about the canada/u.s. relationship. that would have been newsworthy as well. as opposed to what our international crises, we know what they are, we hear about them daily, we ll hear about
