Look out Obama, here comes Canada!

Relief from the high-handed Obama administration may be coming from a surprising direction.

It won’t be Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia or even Mexico that will steal Obama’s thunder but the Land of the Maple Leaf.

Indeed, in the Story of the New America now being written by the Obama administration, Canada will play the key role.

There’s been an impenetrable malaise suspended over America since January 20, 2009. American patriots, doing their best to keep the US apologist president in the spotlight of the news media, are largely ignored by the MSM.

But a trade war simmering in Canada seems ready to slam the brakes on the runaway train known as Obama and Company.

In business suits or blue jeans, the Canadian Resistance doesn’t resemble traditional American enemies, but their message went up in neon lights when, in response to the Buy America policy, Canadian mayors passed a nonbinding resolution Saturday that, in effect, could shut out U.S. bidders from all city contracts.

Canada, America’s best friend and largest trading partner is going to the trenches, warning that protectionist moves by Congress could kill global trade relations--Obama’s vocal assurances that he wants to keep U.S. markets open notwithstanding.

Perhaps Obama thought he covered himself by making winter-bound Ottawa his first official visit after inauguration last February.

But down to earth, no-nonsense Canadians count on actions rather than words in the course of running their businesses.

While the focus has been on what Obama is doing inside his own country, businesses in Canada and in the European Union have been shut out of U.S. markets because of the “Buy Americanâ€

Obama and Co. are looking for every way to solve our present economic problems than the way that is obvious to so many here: Send the surplus labor force back home to their own countries. All problems solved.

Instead we are going to take the long way around and end up falling off the cliff.
