OTTAWA (CP) - Foreign strippers who want to work in Canada are being asked to prove they're qualified for the job - sometimes by stating the facts in pictorial form.

"We don't ever ask for nude photographs," insists Maria Iadinardi, a spokeswoman for the federal Immigration Department. But visa officers do sometimes ask for "stage photographs" as proof that women seeking employment as exotic dancers in Canada have experience at the trade in their home countries. "Stage photographs could be wearing a number of things," said Iadinardi. "They could be wearing their full outfit or their costume of the day."

They could also be wearing a lot less.

Mendel Green, a Toronto immigration lawyer, says he once had a client from Romania who was denied entry to Canada because she produced only a picture of herself dancing topless.

The visa officer at the embassy in Bucharest concluded that wasn't good enough to prove she could work in the nude. Green appealed to Federal Court but the judge sided with the Immigration Department

Oh Canada!

Canada, suprisingly has some good qualities. Maple syrup, canadian beer, etc. So this is just another pleasant suprise.

I think the visa officer in Bucharest was just trying to get a free lap dance.

Are they trying to build an army of beautiful women? And then shut off immigration of any men, to keep all the girls to themselves!?!

Canada is the same as Mexico for Americans. We go there to partake in debauchery, make use of the natives, and then return home!

Debauchery: A wild gathering involving excessive drinking and promiscuity.

So we could make it a new slogan for canda?

CANADA: Drink it, Fuck it, Leave it.

Perhaps "Bomb it." should be added... unsure though

Eh you've already bombed their troops so why not!

If you don't want bombed, keep Celine Dione in your own fucking country. She is a walking act of terrorism.

That line is both funny and sad at the same time.

Canadian sub adrift after fire

Ottawa insists it got a good deal when it agreed to buy the second-hand submarines from Britain for C$750 million ($595 million) in 1998. But opposition legislators say the purchase reflects incompetence by the Liberal government.

"I do not believe we purchased substandard equipment ... the price was very attractive to Canada," said Defence Minister Bill Graham, who nevertheless admitted that the fire was an "important problem."

Canada should probably get rid of their subs. Seems like a waste of money for a country that's not going to be lobbing nukes in the next war anyway.

they aren't offensive nuclear submarines; they are diesel-electric sub hunters. we paid way too much for them though, and they are basically worthless since the only countries that could attack us offensively with submarines could obliterate our military without even working up a sweat anyway.

canada has an excellent navy for the size of the country but submarines don't really fit into our role in the world.

wtf we paid £900m to build them then sold them to you 6 years later for £244m. That's a feckin BARGAIN. Even if they are a little, ahem, flammable

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » October 6, 2004, 6:20 am

there's a reason you sold them 6 years later for less than third of their cost.

vn_Tanc · Post by **vn_Tanc** » October 6, 2004, 7:40 am

Yes. We

Canada is the reason.
No word of a lie.

Shall we mention *cough* Carrot Top, Liza Minelli, Michael Jackson,

Good God man your country needs to investigate these people as a possible cause for terrorism.
