Noah is being abit harsh here...or am I missing something? Why curse anyone, much less Canaan?

Actually not since Canaan was rebellious and would not heed the living Prophet Noah. Who was it made mockering [accused] at Noah while in his wine? Ham! Let me remind you that Noah was a righteous man and he drank wine and became intoxicated. The Lord never did forsake him in consequence thereof and Noah retained all the power of his priesthood. When Noah was accused by Canaan, Noah cursed him by the priesthood which he held, and the Lord had respect to his word and the priesthood which he held; notwithstanding he was drunk, the curse remain for sometime thereafter.
