Canada's Harper to Putin: 'I guess I'll shake your hand, but you need to get out of Ukraine'

Quite the contrast from when Obama ran into him in China last week, Canada’s Stephen Harper apparently has no hesitation about letting it be known what he and his country think of Vladimir Putin’s aggression toward Ukraine:
