Great move Obots, insult Canada then ask for help. The Chicago way clearly doesn't involve an finesse:

What a great idea! Let’s convince Canada to have its soldiers die on the Af-Pak theater front by insulting them at their own conference. After all, the troops that Sweden, Finland, and Iceland have in Afghanistan — not to mention those of “indigenous groups” — are so much more important strategically to the US and its mission in Afghanistan. While Canada merely contributes almost 3,000 combat troops, Sweden has 500 non-combat personnel in Af-Pak, while Finland has 95. Iceland has … four.
Canada, not surprisingly, responded by politely telling Hillary Clinton to pound sand. The extension of the mission in Afghanistan is politically untenable anyway, but Barack Obama’s snub of Stephen Harper last December certainly didn’t help matters. Neither does a pointless rebuke at a conference hosted by Ottawa.
So far in this administration, we’ve managed to alienate the UK, Israel, and now Canada, while talking nicely towards Iran and North Korea with no results to show for it. That, apparently, is “smart power.”

... the details.
