Barack Obama: he may be bad for Canada, but we still love him
He hurt the development of the oil sand industry when he nixed the Keystone Pipeline deal; he chose not to stand-up for Canada when the Senate and House were debating "buy-America" provisions; and it appears he's holding up Canada's formal inclusion into a new free-trade group of Pacific Rim countries.Despite all this, Canadians' love affair with U.S. President Barack Obama continues.
According to a new poll by Angus Reid, 65 per cent of Canadian respondents said, that if they could, they would cast a ballot for Obama. A not-so-whopping 9 per cent would go with Republican challenger Mitt Romney. The rest were undecided.
