Oh Canada
Jeez, even the French treated Reagan better...
The Canadian Prime Minister, in the midst of an election, will not be attending the state funeral for Ronald Reagan, and has been somewhat muted in remarks regarding his passing.
Apparently a bit too busy to attend, the Canadian PM seems to be letting his current election run blanch his previously stated goals of improved relations with the United States.
Canada could do well to be a little more appreciative, considering their domestic policies are utterly reliant on the United States as regional security guarantor as well as prescription drug subsidizer and emergency health care center. Kinder words cost little, but do much.
