the canadian government has made an official and formal announcement :
SANTA CLAUS IS A CANADIAN !
Quote:
Santa's a Canadian, according to the federal government.
Jason Kenney, the minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, has formally awarded Canadian citizenship status to Santa Claus, the government announced Tuesday.
“The Government of Canada wishes Santa the very best in his Christmas Eve duties and wants to let him know that, as a Canadian citizen, he has the automatic right to re-enter Canada once his trip around the world is complete,” Kenney said in an official statement.
Just three weeks ago, the Conservative government proposed legislation to expand the country's sovereignty over Arctic waters. International law at present states that no country has dominion over the North Pole, but the United States, Russia, Norway, Denmark and Canada have been pushing their claim to the area long believed to be the location of Santa's office and residence.

Good grief. Don't they have anything more important to do in Ottawa?
I'm getting grumpier every time I hear about something they're doing there.
Nancy Greene in the Senate? the whole Senate insanity.
Okidokie. Tomorrow evening, I'm out there checking green cards. Same for those Canada Geese, if they ever attempt gainful employment. Well, maybe not the geese; they do seem to have stronger family values than our local Mallards.
good luck with the geese, they put up one hell of a fight

@ehBeth,
reminds me of those horrible mc donalds commercials, the only remotely funny part in any one of them is the one with the scream painting, right at the beginning when the guy enters the room and says to his date, "oh, your still here, that never happens"

Was this another one of Harper's arrogant pronouncements? And how much will this cost taxpayers now?
