Mr Harper, Meet Mr Obama

Time for Mr Harper to be on his best behaviour and to put on a genuine and warm smile.
Everyone seems to be offering Mr Harper a few tippers, so here goes:

1. Be genuine.
2. Be warm and friendly.
3. Don't fake a smile; when you do that, it comes across as patronizing
4. Invite Mr Obama back with his family, for a few days in Ottawa or at the lake....that's Harrington Lake.
5. Don't press any issues with him. This is a "getting to know my neighbour" visit, not a visit to lay down the law or press ANY point except that we are neighbours.
6. Relax!!!! Lighten up!

Further to to this...please don't wear that suit and tie that you recently wore in Vancouver. It is too formal, looks like your top-of-the-line power suit, and doesn't convey the right image for this occasion (did it in Vancouver?). And for heaven's sake don't wear BROWN!!!
