Wall Street Journal: Backs Canada

Canadian Pride and Principles Not For Sale

Canada seems to have annoyed a sufficient number of Third World dictators and liberally pious Westerners to come up short in a secret General Assembly ballot. The sins committed by Stephen Harper’s Conservative government include staunch support for Israel, skepticism about cap-and-trade global warming schemes, and long-standing commitment to the Afghan war. Americans would be so lucky to get a leader as steadfast on those issues as the Canadian Prime Minister.

The comments are a great read. Many Americans support this as a badge of honour.

In three weeks Americans will send a message to the American political class. Any bets which party is going to get snubbed?
