Dear Ambassador Wilkins:

Quit being such a transparent idiot - you're embarassing your country.

It's amazing just how quicly the BushCo machine changes its tune, isn't it.

Not so long ago, a comment like Harper's would have earned our Prime Minister (and his representative in Washington), a tongue lashing by the US administration.

Now, really, how ridiculously transparent can you get. According to Ambassador Wilkins, "We don't recognize Canada's claims to those waters. Most other countries do not recognize their claim. We have agreed to disagree," Wilkins said.

Most other countries? Really? Would the good Ambassador please explain this little gem of "fact" - perhaps by enumerating these countries that don't recognize Canada's claim to these waters - when they don't seem to have a big problem with Canada's claim to the lands on either side.

Few things irritate Canadians as much as transparent hypocrisy.
