Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper Opposes Obama's Pro-Palestinian Border Proposal in G8 Statement

Harper Obama.jpeg Israel's greatest ally in the West is ... Canada?

Going by this Ynet News report, one might be led to think so (emphasis added):

Canadian delegation blocks mention of 1967 lines in Group of Eight leaders' joint statement calling Israel, Palestinians to return to peace talks.

Group of Eight leaders had to soften a statement urging Israel and the Palestinians to return to negotiations because Canada objected to a specific mention of 1967 borders, diplomats said on Friday.

Canada's right-leaning Conservative government has adopted a staunchly pro-Israel position in international negotiations since coming to power in 2006, with Prime Minister Stephen Harper saying Canada will back Israel whatever the cost.

Diplomats involved in Middle East discussions at the G8 summit said Ottawa had insisted that no mention of Israel's pre-1967 borders be made in the leaders' final communique, even though most of the other leaders wanted a mention.

"The Canadians were really very adamant, even though Obama expressly referred to 1967 borders in his speech last week," one European diplomat said.

A spokesman for Harper would not comment on the line Canada had taken, saying only that the final communique would make positions clear.

What a difference a real leader makes. One stands up for true freedom, democracy, common sense, and our only true ally in the Middle East, the other appeases Islam.
