TORONTO - Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier found himself backtracking Saturday over his department's training manual that lists the U.S. and Guantanamo Bay as sites of possible torture - alongside such countries as Iran and Syria.
In a statement, Bernier said he regretted the embarrassment caused by the public disclosure of the manual, adding that it contains a list that "wrongly" includes some of Canada's closest allies.

But Guantanamo Bay is clearly not alongside Syria - Guantanamo Bay, come to think of it, is a lot closer to alongside Canada than alongside Syria - so at least there's that.
And speaking of small comforts (and alongside Canada), it's 11º on the other side of the wall this morning, but we're expecting a heat wave to roll in tomorrow and by Wednesday we might see 32º.
