Crazy Like A Fox?

So I see this headline: Canada’s new leader takes on U.S. over Arctic. I'm not entirely sure that soon to be PM Harper isn't being sneaky. How better to do some military buildup in a country that's not been keen on the whole concept of having a strong military for a while now, than by using what they dislike even more -- us -- as an excuse to do so? Maybe it's one big fakeout.

Only time will tell....

I have to say, I was hearing lines from Canadian Bacon in my head....

Either that or he's been watching Hugh Grant as the PM in Love Actually a little much....

Heh! Does that mean he has a cute tea girl in the wings?

I think it's just to give him street cred with his peeps. See? I'm not Prez Bush's lapdog!

I'm all a twitter!! I'm sure the Canadian Navy (about the size of our Coast Guard but with old equipment) is about to deploy a fleet of attack submarines any minute now.

Well, we're waiting!!
