The Canadian goverment does not harbour war criminals or terrorists. Canada? Our government provides safe haven for the oppressed.
No matter your crime, come to Canada, spend your time. Take full advantage of our health care system, we'll overlook your fake documents, aid in the sponsoring of your fledgling "fighters" from "your back country".
Canada is so loved, so great! The world loves us so much, we've been able to reduce our military spending to an intangible liability!
We are a considerate, empathetic, wonderful country, but we can be tough. Remember that time, earlier this year? You remember, when the Danes wanted to stake their flag on that scrap of an island? It was Canadian territory! (where was that place again?).
We had a frigate on the move within days. The ice storms kept us from arriving as quickly as we'd wanted to, (the frigate wasn't so frigid in the icy waters) but we got there and everything was tickety-boo. (Still have some paper-work, but you know how that is)
We showed those Danes!
So don't let anyone tell you Canada is soft. We're opportunists. Or was that opportunistic? (Oh never mind)
Canada is a land of opportunites!
Let Canada know!
We'll help you, supply aid, abet you in all your endeavours, in the best way we know how.
Happy 2006 from:
The FRIENDLY Country,
Canada
