In light of the American and Russian advances towards the Arctic, Canada has suddenly realized how much the Arctic means to it.
With thinning of sea ice, the leaner and sexier version of the Canadian North has been attracting a lot of attention from international suitors. Russia always wants to hang out when Canada is not at around, while showing up in private jets. Plus, American fishing and shipping companies want to crash the pad and eat all the food as they couch surf their way across the magnetic pole.
Fearing Canada would be jilted, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has travelled to the North to prove how much the Arctic means to Canada.
“I hope spending some quality time together will help remind the Arctic about the good times we’ve had together” Harper said as he serenaded the people of the Arctic with a grand piano. “I’ve brought a bottle of wine and we’ll watch the Northern Lights tonight.”
Canada now realizes that it took the Arctic for granted, never listening to its feelings and expecting its natural resources to be there ready and waiting when Canada returned from other dalliances.
Now, as the jocks with their permanent seats on the UN Security Council make their move on the Arctic, Harper is taking every opportunity to show off his guns to the North.
The mothers of the Arctic warn Canada’s intentions might not be pure stating “I ain’t saying he’s a golddigger, but…”
