In a welcoming development from our northern neighbors..

After being treated to the sport of America bashing, nearly perfected by Canadian officials as of the past few years, the election of Stephen Harper as Canadian prime minister is a welcome change for many of us south of the 49th parallel. I wish his government godspeed on guiding his nation back on a road of sobriety after years of being misguided by the moonbat left.

I should add that not all of us south of the 49th are elated with this election.

From ABC News:

Relations with the Bush administration will likely improve under Harper as his ideology runs along the same lines of many U.S. Republicans.

Harper has said he would reconsider a U.S. missile defense scheme rejected by the Liberal government of Prime Minister Paul Martin. He also said he wanted to move beyond the Kyoto debate by establishing different environmental controls, spend more on the Canadian military, expand its peacekeeping missions and tighten security along the U.S. border to prevent terrorists and guns from crossing. (emphasis added)

Note that choice of words from one of our own news agencies. According to Beth Duff-Brown (of course, it had to be hyphenated) It's not a missle defense plan, it's a missle defense scheme. The American MSM spares no opportunity to inject its bias in any story, does it?
