Lack of Canadian support for war would harm relations: U.S. envoy Failure by Canada to support a unilateral U.S. invasion of Iraq would likely cause some damage in relations between the two neighbours, American Ambassador Paul Cellucci said Friday.
Nevertheless, Cellucci said strong economic ties and the United States' dependency on Canadian energy would overcome any bad feeling. "Would that be a bump in our relationship? It probably would be," Cellucci said.
"But this relationship is too long-standing, the ties are too deep, for any one thing to have any significant long-term effect."
