Harper stood up for Canadian interests in a forcefull, yet diplomatic way. Harper and Obama both had a good day.

Any want to bet that Harper is going to be stretching the truth a little? Bets? Didn't think so. In other news, many Rightwing Blogging Tories who have declared Obama as a Marxist, Commie, Socialist, Liberal,... blah, blah, blah Are now busy telling us how remarkably similar Obama and Harper are,... like they are almost twins,... They then further expound the point to explain that Harper is doing a great job and that Canada is just so incredibly luck to have Harper as our God and Saviour. Tomorrows Rightwing News, Obama is pure socialist evil who will destroy the world and everything that is good in it. And remember to vote Harper Ah, the late Friday Afternoon presser,… aka, Harper can say anything he wants, the American media will not be looking and the news cycle will end over the weekend,…

The media will cover the Iggy meeting and the flyback late afternoon. Besides, there could be another restructuring inside the PMO before then. Maybe Harper wants to brief Layton and Duceppe first, or find out why Michaelle Jean got 45 minutes with the President. He may also want to know about this Clean Energy Grid thing Obama talks about, and about US plans to regulate CO2 emissions as part of the EPA mandate. So many reasons...
