Well, there you have it, Canadians.Only a few weeks after being here - during which he had only the briefest occasion to shake NDP MP Paul Dewar's hand - and Obama has picked a side ... Obama: 'I am a New Democrat'. (Check it out! He even used the capital "N"!)
Single payer health care. Commitment to a cap and trade carbon market. Tough diplomacy in Afghanistan ... America really is back!
That must have been one hell of a handshake, Paul.
