When the meeting resumed, Martin apologized to the nation.

LAKE LOUISE, Alberta, Canada _ What's the perfect way to end the perfect hike at the perfect place in the Canadian Rockies?  To have a spot of tea, of course. The Canadians are, after all, a civilized bunch.

On a recent political round table on CNN, Ann Coulter took a swipe at Canadians, saying that we should consider ourselves "lucky that [we] are allowed to exist on the same continent" as the US.     Alright, Ann, this isn't the first time that an American has denied our right to exist. It's been going on for most of US history.

You're bound to do better than you did before.    Just remember that last time, someone  burned the White House down.
