Canada - Santa Claus a citizen?

Canada vowed on Tuesday to defend the North Pole and Santa Claus, insisting the mythical figure is a citizen, after Russia ordered its military to step up its Arctic presence.

Paul Calandra, parliamentary secretary to the prime minister, cited Canada’s claim of the North Pole to bash an opposition party.

“We are defending the north further by making a claim on the North Pole,” he said. “We know that the (opposition) Liberals do not think that the North Pole or Santa Claus are in Canada. We do. We are going to make sure that we protect them as best we can.” Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau agreed: “Everyone knows that Santa Claus is Canadian.”
