Lawrence "Rocky IV" Cannon

This is getting rediculous:
Canada "will not be bullied" by Russia when it comes to staking claim over the Arctic, Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon said Friday.

His remarks in Montreal came the same day as Russia said it would amass an army dedicated to protecting its interests in the Arctic.

...
Pretty soon we'll have a squadron. A quack squadron of Harper's Heroes.

Maybe it's just member envy. Because, over here in the 21st century where it is widely accepted that the Soviet Union is no more and the Cold War is over, former foes are doing strangely agreeable things:
"We will have two presidential statements - on Russian-U.S. relations generally, but also on START. The texts are shaping up nicely and should become the starting point for our future work," Sergei Prikhodko told journalists prior to the two leaders first-ever meeting on April 1 on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
While back to the future here in Canada, I keep thinking of old Bruce Willis movies.
