Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi has cancelled a planned visit to Canada next week.
Officials confirmed Saturday that Gadhafi had scrapped plans to land in Newfoundland this Tuesday to refuel his plane.
One report said hotel reservations for the leader had been cancelled and his advance team had left.
The planned visit had caused a stir in Canada, with Prime Minister Stephen Harper ordering Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon to greet the despot upon his arrival to express this country's outrage over the reception Libya recently gave to the newly released Lockerbie bomber.
Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, an alleged former Libyan intelligence officer, was treated as a hero upon his arrival in Libya after Scotland released him on compassionate grounds because he is terminally ill with cancer.

hey Mallomar....I understand you can get cubans up there....hurray up there Ka-daffy.....
Good for harper. At least ONE country in this world has a leader with enough guts to confront this terrorist over his actions.
I have a feeling that all this crap wouldn't have happened if President Bush was still in the White House.
I should think most Canadians would be relieved if this trip were cancelled. Who wants this putz roaming around (not to mention giving one of his speeches).
They’re just being kind - there isn’t enough Thorazine in the whole country for Mo.
It really does sicken me that few governments seem to want to hold Gadaffi accountable anymore.
Nice going Canada.
Why ya gotta hate on the Muppets?!? They were cute!
Canada comes through again!
Thank You PM Stephen Harper.
It must be nice to live in a country where your leader puts
Country and honor first.

Like I try to tell my fellow “’Muricans”, we have many more friends
than enemies north of the border.
As an American citizen...
What’s truly unsettling is to have Sarkozy and Harper be tougher
than our “President Pantywaist” (as termed by “The Telegraph”).
Pierre Trudeau was Prime Minister when I learned about this thing called “government”.
I am so proud of my Country under Stephen Harper.
It’s the Canada my father, and every other soldier, fought for.
Weeeee’re Baaaack!!!!
:-D
couldn’t face the strain of translating his ramblings into English AND French I guess
Do you think maybe he was dis-invited and allowed to save face by saying it was his idea to cancel?
