"Russia expels Canadian diplomats" Hurray! It's always the US diplomats that get the flak. When is the last time anyone got mad at Canada?

It appears that the expulsion has more to do with these Canadians being NATO representatives in Moscow, than with their nationality as such.
This comes as somewhat of a surprise to me, considering recent attempts to "normalize" US/ NATO - Russian relationship, a curious twist... Russians seem to be pissed off by NATO exercises that have just begun in Georgia.
Will keep an eye on it.

3. In 2008, Georgia and Russia clashed over control Georgia.
