Wherever he goes, Obama will meet with Stephen Harper, Canada's president.

Relax! Harper's not really the president of the Great White North. He's prime minister. For now anyway.

I think the LAtimes has a pretty good handle on who and what we are.
The President line is for the American readers to wrap their heads around

Then they hit the nail right on the head - he's the PM and he's in a minority government position where it teeters to this day

Ok. I did a quick read, and this popped out.

Relations between Canada and what Canadians call "the States" have improved considerably since the War of 1812, when British troops assaulted Washington and torched a now-famous white house where Obama currently resides.

This isn't the whole story is it?    :    All the same, I'm glad they havn't forgotten.  ;D

Should we tell them that "They" put Toronto to the torch ???

And how about it was the British in particular Newfoundlanders which torched the White House.

Not a great loss. Believe it was called "Muddy York" in those days.
