President Vladimir Putin intends to leave the Group of 20 summit in Australia earlier than scheduled, according to people familiar with his plans, as some leaders demanded Russia stop arming rebels in Ukraine.
“I guess I’ll shake your hand but I have only one thing to say to you: You need to get out of Ukraine,” Harper told Putin, the prime minister’s spokesman Jason MacDonald said in an e-mail. Putin told Harper that would be impossible because Russian troops aren’t there, Peskov said.

Bully for Harper!
O Canada
Our home and native land,
True patriots love
In all thy sons command
With glowing hearts
We see thee rise
The true North
Strong and free
And stand on guard
O Canada
We stand on guard for thee!
(Apologies to Canadians for any inconvenience if I got some lines out of order.)
