Many Thanks to the American Ambassador

The American Ambassador today stated that he isn't happy with the Harper government's plans to build armed icebreakers to assert Canadian sovereignty in northern waters. America doesn't recognize Canadian sovereignty up north. Anyway, many thanks to the Ambassador. Harper has been accused of being too friendly with America, too much like George Bush and (this one is the most crazy) of wanting to sell Canada to the United States. And so 3 days after the election, the Ambassador gives Harper a chance to wrap himself in the Canadian flag and assert Canadian sovereignty. Perhaps the Ambassador could say something negative about Quebec so Harper can defend Quebec and boost federalism by a couple of points!
