A case of mistaken identity

I guess it's been so long since a Canadian prime minister said anything like this that the mistake is quite understandable:

Arab papers are carrying Saudi Arabia's condemnation of Hezbollah. That hasn't stopped the UN and EU capitals from denouncing Israel. Go figure. But Australian Canadian* PM Stephen Harper isn't having any of it:

    Harper, who is in London for a two-day visit, called Israel's response to the kidnapping of three soldiers "measured" and "simply self-defence".

[. . .]

* Well, he sounded like an Australian!
