Reuters has Don’t dictate to me, Canada’s Martin tells US

Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin escalated a war of words with the United States on Wednesday, telling Washington not to dictate to him what topics he can raise in the run-up to Canada’s January 23 election.

But U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins, who warned Canadian politicians on Tuesday not to bash the United States as part of their campaigning, denied on Wednesday he was trying to control the election debate.

Martin — who has regularly attacked the U.S. stance on a bilateral trade dispute over softwood lumber and also criticized Washington’s approach to climate change — took aim at Wilkins’s warning for a second consecutive day.

“When it comes to defending Canadian values, when it comes to standing up for Canadian interests, I’m going to call it like I see it,” he told reporters in a lumber yard in Richmond, British Columbia. “I am not going to be dictated to as to the subjects I should raise.”

Well, we will see how well this corrupt political HACK does in the January national elections.

Flap handicaps that corrupt Paul Martin will be the BIGGEST LOSER in this shameless political posturing.
