The United States made an unprecedented foray into Canada's election campaign on Tuesday, warning politicians not to bash Washington in their bid to win the January 23 election.Things aren't working out so well against Iraq, Iran, Syria or N. Korea, and Venzuala is thumbing their noses at Bush. I suppose the next logical war is Canada. At least we'll save on gas.But an unapologetic Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin responded immediately by saying "c'est la vie" -- that's life -- if the United States did not like his remarks, and he would not accept anyone telling him he cannot defend his country.
In a hard-hitting speech in Ottawa, U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins lamented what he called relentless and incessant criticism of his country, which he speculated might begin to sow doubt about the strength of the binational relationship.

Oh Canada!
It seems that the White House doesn't like it when Canada criticizes us for things like starting wars in other countries and refusing to join in global efforts to combat environmental problems. The Canadian response? Too damned bad.
