Ever get the feeling that J.P. Chretien has invisible sails on his back, so he can always tack with the wind?

Jean Chrétien is to give a speech in the House of Commons today endorsing the Bush administration's "mission" in Iraq and asking MPs to declare formal support for a quick victory by coalition forces.

The Prime Minister will speak in favour of a government motion designed to show solidarity with U.S. and British forces in Iraq and hope for their victory, even though Canada refused to join the coalition against Saddam.

The motion affirms "the unbreakable bonds" of values and family Canadians share with the United States and Great Britain.

I mean, even Joe Lieberman didn't change course that hard and that fast.
