The Canadians have caught a Russian spy.
Canadian intelligence services say a man arrested trying to leave the country last week is a Russian spy with forged identity papers.
The man, who used the false name Paul William Hampel, will appear in court in Montreal on Wednesday with authorities calling for his deportation.
So, let me get this straight. They’ve caught a spy trying to leave the country, arrested him, put him on trial, and are calling for the court to… throw him out of the country.
An odd news article from South Korea, which looks like an April fool, but was published on 29 March.
In a classified ad in KScene, a free biweekly magazine, World Class describes itself as a group that “brings together all nationalities to discuss world issues and break down cultural barriers and prejudices.”
Breaking down the prejudices, however, doesn’t extend to all countries. “No Canadians please,” the ad continues.
When contacted by a Korea Herald reporter by e-mail, the organizer of the group, Bernard Carleton, elaborated further, “The thing is, CANADIANS ARE SCUM! They are self-loving, welfare supporting, over taxing, work ethic hating scum!!! They are not welcome in our group.”
I’m going with the April fools joke posted early theory, purely because one of the main universities in Ottawa, Canada is called Cartleton University.
I studied there for a while, and based on my purely unscientific observation of going out and meeting people, Canadians are very nice people. So there.
