Canadian Prime Minister Stephen HarperStory here. Come on, read it all!
OTTAWA (CP) - As the nation celebrated its 140th birthday at parties across the country, Prime Minister Stephen Harper told revellers on Parliament Hill that Canada is once again a player on the world stage.
Canada has resumed its role as a world leader by contributing to the security of Aghanistan and Haiti, and by becoming an energy and resources superpower, he said.
I'd say he's being modest. There's even more to say... But then again, he probably doesn't want to brag about his own accomplishments as Prime Minister and as a world leader, a Canadian Prime Minister the likes of which hasn't been seen in, well, not within my lifetime. Thanks to Mr. Harper, Canada is indeed back!
"The news is spreading throughout the world: Canada's back," Harper told the crowd Sunday.
"Canada's back as a vital player on the global stage. . . Canadians are citizens of the world and we're making a positive contribution in every field of human endeavour."
Well, that's all just as I've been saying for awhile now... Canada's back, baby! We kick ass!
