It's the joke that just keeps giving..... especially to governments elsewhere.
As Canada and Denmark continue their little tiff about ownership over a barren rock that sits along the border drawn between Greenland and the Canadian Arctic Islands, the following statement has been made from Foreign Affairs spokesman Reynald Doiron - with tongue set firmly in cheek.
"Notwithstanding the disputed area, the Canadian foreign affairs ministry is allowing its cafeteria to sell Danish pastries as a goodwill gesture towards the Danish government and people."
Phew!
What a relief.
I mean, think of the ramifications if Canada sunk to that pithy a level of political discourse....
Gas prices are high enough. If Tim Hortons also had to boost coffee prices to account for rebranding expenses I think the country might just implode! We'd have no life-sustaining, affordable liquids left!
Well, except beer.
