Hmmmm.

I think you'd be hard pressed to blame China for the recent irritant between Canada and the US, but maybe Obama should read this:

China's rise means resource-rich Canada should beware, historian Niall Ferguson says
"China will attempt to drive an economic and political wedge between Canada and the United States as it moves for a greater stake in this country's natural resources, celebrity historian and author Niall Ferguson said Friday.

"It wouldn't be China if it wasn't looking for a chance to detach Canada from its big southern neighbour and to exploit the resentment many Canadians feel about the United States," said Ferguson.

"There will be more friction between China and the U.S. in the next 10 or 15 years and Canada will find itself in the middle if that becomes a rather fraught relationship," he added.

"Imagine if either the United States or China said to Canada, 'You have to choose.'"
Hmmmm. Kinda makes you wonder though. Is China funding environut organizations and occupiers and has Obama fallen for it? He does seem to believe in fairy tales.
