Americans don't pay enough attention to Canadians, eh?
The across-the-political-spectrum spewing over Harper's three Senate appointments coincidental with his Cabinet announcement is another puzzler.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Americans do not pay enough (in Canadian eyes) attention to Canada. The most recent illustration is demonstrated by the events of May 2. For Amcits, the story of the day was "bringing to justice" Osama bin Laden prompting massive demonstrations of popular pleasure, commensurate saturation media, intensive tribute to the reclusive SEALS, and a sharp boost in President Obama's popularity. To be sure, bin Laden's demise was important even to Canadians as demonstrated by the back and front May 16 Maclean's edition featuring Tory victory on one side and bin Laden's death on the obverse (tossing in 50 pages of William's and Kate's wedding for good measure).
