'Vive la France! Vive le Canada!' hails PM

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Jean Chrétien says France and Canada must work together to restore trust with the United States after recent tensions over the war in Iraq.

Hmmm. This probably won't go over very well in Washington, land of the Freedom Fry. I wonder what Paul Cellucci thought of it all. Oh wait, there's more...

Most of the remarks at the state dinner were in French, and at least one VIP in attendance, American ambassador to Canada Paul Cellucci, might have missed most of what was said.

Awesome!! The U.S. ambassador, who just a few days ago was rumbling on about the deep friendship between the U.S. and Quebec, apparently doesn't speak French, and yet sat through an entire state dinner without being able to understand the speeches! Think of all the fun that could have been had!
