Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott is meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in what is probably the greatest display of leadership affection seen in Ottawa since Ronald Reagan and Brian Mulroney harmonized on "When Irish Eyes are Smiling."
Prime Minister Abbott brought gifts: a boomerang and a six-pack of Foster's. Prime Minister Harper reciprocated with a Maple Leafs jersey and a Stompin' Tom Connors CD.
Later Mr. Abbott addressed the House of Commons, asking the MLAs, "What kind of suit would a kangaroo wear to a formal dinner?" Answer: "A jumpsuit."
The only negative moment in the Abbott-Harper meeting came when the Australian leader apologized for his country's strict immigration policy. "I'm sorry, Steve," he said. "We can't take Mike Duffy."
