Canadians sounded off against Clinton this weekend after she irked them about three issues during her visit last week: 1) urging Canada to include abortion in its global-health plan to improve maternal mortality, 2) appealing on TV for Canadian troops to stay in Afghanistan after their planned 2011 withdrawal date, and 3) criticizing Canada's failure to invite indigenous groups and some Scandinavian countries to a meeting about the future of the Arctic.
