OTTAWA — The release of secret and candid U.S. diplomatic cables about Canada by WikiLeaks will not hurt the country’s relationship with the United States, Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon said Monday.

“What I can tell you is that it’s not complex, or complicated information that could compromise relations between Canada and the U.S.,” he told reporters in Gatineau, Que.
WikiLeaks has about 2,500 cables from the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa and consular offices in other parts of the country among more than 250,000 it is gradually leaking into the public domain.
