In a way, its almost a point of pride that the first veto issued by president Barack Obama under the new Republican-controlled Congress – only the third veto of his presidency – was dedicated to the Keystone XL pipeline. Countries around the world jockey for the President’s attention, and he decided to save his first rebuke for us!

On another note he has stopped Congress. Or is it his protector Bruno from Chicago that holds the power that has stopped Congress? Not that this congress has integrity of course.

The typical Canadian might find it surprising to learn (God knows enough *Americans* are *stunned*) that Mr Obama is truly amoral.Not just *immoral*...*amoral*.

No surprise. Obama will bow to our enemies and kick our allies in the ass.

Obama always side with what weakens the country and rejects what strengthens it. I can’t recall a single action that didn’t fit that profile.

The only thing about Canada that Mullah Obama cares about is getting Justin Beiber Trudeau elected so the Mullah has a puppet up North.

He has his political machine on the ground helping Beiber Trudeau's campiagn so it stands to reason wee Justin will be the next PM

Sorry, Canada. The US put a jackass in the highest office of the land.

"No surprise. Obama will bow to our enemies and kick our allies in the ass."

I guess this means comrade obama can forget about being granted political asylum in Canada when he's forced to flee the US to escape prosecution.
