Canada rebuffs Bush on missile defense plan

The NYT is fine; but the headline writer for the SF paper is an idiot. The leader of Canada in the article is the Prime Minister, not the Premier. Seems like they should know that; seems like an editor should have caught it. Lame! I sent in feedback, we’ll see what I hear back.
