OTTAWA (CP) - Stephen Harper used his first news conference as prime minister-designate Thursday to warn the United States to mind its own business when it comes to Canada's Arctic.

The Conservative leader said he'll stick to his campaign promise to bolster Canada's military presence in the North and build big new military icebreakers. He was responding to comments Wednesday by U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins, who criticized the plans, claiming the Arctic passage as "neutral waters."

Harper said Canada will do what it wants in its territory.

"The United States defends its sovereignty; the Canadian government will defend our sovereignty," he said.

"It is the Canadian people that we get our mandate from, not the ambassador of the United States."

Harper has promised to mend strained relations with the U.S., while standing firm for Canadian interests.

Arctic sovereignty has been a sensitive subject for decades, with American submarines and even ships entering northern waters without asking permission.

It was reported last month that a U.S. submarine travelled secretly through Canadian Arctic waters in November on its way to the North Pole.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    • 高兴什么? 对待巴勒撕坦的HAMA政府的态度还不是跟着ＢＵＳＨ跑．有美国跟屁虫迹象了 -canada1999(lovetochat); 2006-1-26 (#2747425@0)
      • 哈！那你觉得凡是Bush支持的我们就应该反对?否则就是美国跟屁虫？ -babypig(babypig); 2006-1-26 (#2747431@0)
        • 我谈不上支持HAMA 政府. 只是我知道BUSH对他们那么强硬, 是因为他得听他尤太老板的话. HARPER不承认人家, 谈不上对加拿大不利,只能说将来他在中东问题上会完全跟美国跑. -canada1999(lovetochat); 2006-1-26 (#2747451@0)
          • 同意， HAMAS政府是按照美国的民主程序所选出来的代表巴勒斯坦人的政府，为什麽美国人不同意？可想而知，既是中国通过民主程序选出政府，美国人也不会高兴，因为中国的存在对美国的称霸野心威胁太大。 -haole555(枫叶红了); 2006-1-26 (#2747459@0)
            • 你们看了今天Bush的新闻发布会了吗？没看不要乱说，显得你无知。 -cw2000(起伏); 2006-1-26 (#2747501@0)
              • 在加拿大每个人都有权利说自己想说的话，怎摸叫乱说？你不是更无知？连公民的合法权利都不知？ -haole555(枫叶红了); 2006-1-26 (#2747511@0)

            • 这个有点道理。西方政治家就是信仰实用主义。对他们有利，人权民主可以睁一眼闭一眼。要相信他们会无私地拯救集权国家的人民是个笑话。 -sinbad(Seven Seas); 2006-1-26 (#2747702@0)
              • 恩，集权独裁者们能洗心革面，给老百姓实现民主自由更是个笑话。 -canadiantire(轮胎-M.I.N.K.); 2006-1-26 (#2747719@0)
                • 所以，一切要靠自己。不过独裁者有时候也真的会改好，只是得碰上个心胸开阔，真心为国家民族的独裁者才行。英国和日本都是独裁者自我改良而实现的民主政体。 -sinbad(Seven Seas); 2006-1-26 (#2747839@0)
                  • 恩我忘了还有一群脑子被洗得煞白，打死都不要民主自由的衷心用户独裁的民众。 -canadiantire(轮胎-M.I.N.K.); 2006-1-26 (#2748069@0)

        President Bush also struck a conciliatory note, saying that it was clear that Hamas's performance was a triumph of democracy, among Palestinians in particular and Arabs in general, and a rebuke to "the old guard there." It was striking that his tone was less one of confrontation than of inviting Hamas to change its ways while the world watches.

        "There was a peaceful process as people went to the polls, and that's positive," Mr. Bush said. "But what's also positive is that it's a wakeup call to the leadership. Obviously people were not happy with the status quo."

        He added that Hamas could not be "a partner in peace" if it continued to advocate the destruction of Israel or harbored "an armed wing." But his tone almost suggested that the United States would have an open mind as the Palestinians form their government and take actions.
        • 布什的说话要点：(1) HAMAS上台是民主的胜利， 是人民对前任阿拉法特贪污政府的 否决；(2)HAMA必须要放弃使用恐怖手段。 从这两点能推出这些左棍们的言论么？ -cerboros(Once Upon Great King); 2006-1-26 (#2747911@0)
    • 眼见此话题被越聊越远，为此我深表遗憾！ -adamandeve(拿喇叭打蛤蟆哑巴喇嘛); 2006-1-26 (#2747487@0)
