Ooooooh ... this is a good sign:
Canada shrugs off U.S. warning to back off
British Columbia (Reuters) - 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.
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.
Mr. Martin then went on to translate the expression "c'est la vie" for Mr. Wilkins.

Yep, Martin is just what Canada needs after the entire government collapse around him a few weeks ago in a heap of $$$ scandals. Right on, Softwood!
2 in 10 Canadians favor America annexing Canada
Why wait for annexation? If you're of military age, feel free to volunteer for military service in Iraq right now.
I mean, you're not one of those fighting keyboarders who only talks a good game, are you?
Say it ain't so.
What does the Bush administrations ongoing success in Iraq have to do with the growing number of Canadians in favor of annexation?
No more top-of-the-page post for your favorite Weblog Awards finalist, eh? Which were you embarrassed about more: the fact that your guy wasn't getting many votes (thus showing your impotence in the blogosphere) or the fact that you were a hypocrite for bitching about the Awards earlier?
Dumbass.
"What does the Bush administrations ongoing success in Iraq have to do with the growing number of Canadians in favor of annexation? "
Bwahhahhahhhaaaaahahaha!
Sucess In Iraq? God, do you work for Haliburon? What colour is the sky in your world?
I think as Canadians we should be a little careful about tough "anti-american" talk right up close to an election.
Don't you just roll your eyes when US politicians tell people things they want to hear but they would never actually care about once they get elected?
I refer you to W (Never invade without an exit strategy / I would never run a deficit / Disaster preparedness can't be left to wussy liberals)
Can't wait to see who ends up with a permanent government first. Will it be Canada or Iraq?
american anthro-
I totally agree. Canada is so integrated with the US it doesn't matter who is in power, or what their 'opinions' are about the US, not a whole lot is going to change anytime soon.
I guess since America is being bashed around the globe (and surely SETI will soon indicate it's being bashed in other galaxies), getting kicked by Canadian politicians is like the small kid in the class with the lazy eye and cowlick giving you the finger.
The question, though, does not fall on the small kid with the lazy eye and cowlick, but on whether or not "the finger" is merited.
In this case, the finger is mightily merited.
