Default Canadia?

On the return leg home from attending D-Day ceremonies in France, Australian PM Toy Abbott dropped by the Canadian War Memorial in Ottawa. He gave a speech expressing his feelings at being in "Canadia" (http://www.torontosun.com/2014/06/09...-canadia-gaffe), and has been roundly criticised back home for embarrassing us and offending his hosts. Has it received any coverage at all in Canada?

PS In a further embarrassment, his minders staged his conference standing in front of a Ram Kangaroo, because it would be nice for the viewers at home to see an Australian contribution to the museum!
