Former Vice President Dick Cheney, who made the "undisclosed location" one of the globe's best remembered phrases, has cancelled a planned trip to Canada. Apparently, George W. Bush's former
consigliere concluded that Maple Leaf hostility was more than he could manage.
According to a report by Vera H-C Chan in Yahoo News, Cheney cancelled a planned April speaking engagement in Toronto. Apparently, there was concern that the former VP's "personal safety" was at stake.
Canada has a history of hostile demonstrations against Cheney and Bush. Some Canadians regard both men as war criminals who should be tried in a court of international law. What's evident is, twelve years after their ascension to the highest political offices in the United States, Bush and Cheney remain international pariahs.
