Title ProperIs Ottawa following Washington's lead in foreign policy?

Summary / Abstract (Note)Is Canada's foreign policy aligned with that of the United States? This
question frequently comes up in foreign policy circles and was recently
raised during the popular uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East.
Some observers have maintained that Ottawa's policy with regard to the
"Arab Spring" followed that of Washington.1
This criticism is in keeping with
the perception that, since coming to power in February 2006, the Harper
government has strategically aligned Canada's policies more closely with
those of the United States.2
Some positions of the Harper government, in particular with respect to the Kyoto Protocol, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,
and the North American security perimeter, have reinforced this idea.3
