Citizenship and Immigration Canada officials have discovered 42 wedding albums submitted with 42 different citizenship applications in which the guests in the photos were all the same.Of course, the only real surprise here, is that the immigration people actually caught on to this.
Oh Canada.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"A wedding album is considered official documentation in citizenship consideration?"**********
"Can I submit my baby pictures when I apply for a passport?"

As that evil Stephen Harper cracks down on importing foreign strippers into Canada.
The new law will take the restriction one step further, and is based on the government's concern that foreign dancers are in some cases forced into the illegal sex trade.Oh, the horror... those poor strip club owners!!!
"This is actually going to make it illegal for them to be able to do that. In other words there's not even going to be an opportunity to persuade the government that you need those foreign workers... that's out," Fife told CTV Newsnet.
So, what's really the matter here, Bob... no more expense account lap-dances?
How can anyone not support this initiative?
The Tories have been touting the move as a response to the so-called Strippergate scandal when former Liberal immigration minister Judy Sgro resigned amid accusations that she fast-tracked the immigration papers of a Romanian stripper who worked on her campaign.Of course, the bill will still have to get through the liberal dominated Senate, huh?
"The Liberals gave blanket exemptions to foreign strippers to work in Canada," a senior government source told The Canadian Press.
"We're putting an end to the Liberal Strippergate in order to prevent the exploitation of women."
The former Liberal government issued temporary work permits for 600 foreign dancers before the practice was ended in 2004.
Can you say "conflict of interest"?
