BUSH & HARPER'S SHOCKING SECRET DEAL

BREAKING:
Bourque has learned that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and US President George Bush have agreed to swap Alaska for New Brunswick.
The idea, first broached in Cancun two days ago by officials discussing bilateral trade issues, was said to have been well received by both leaders late Thursday as they sipped margaritas, dipped corn chips into spicy salsa, and contemplated the various merits of the deal.
Sources inside the Prime Minister's Office indicated under condition of anonymity late Friday night that the plan would see the province of New Brunswick amalgamated into the State of Maine no later than April 8, 2010, in exchange for the state of Alaska, which would be amalgamated into the Yukon. "It makes eminent sense", said our source, who once attended a Harvard lecture given by the erudite Michael Ignatieff several years ago.
"Both are marginal territories awkwardly placed in their respective countries", noted our source, "and both countries would be strengthened by this type of realignment". In fact, Bourque has confirmed through sources in Cancun that a secret task force has been struck to put together a plan of action based on sound strategic, geopolitical, commercial, and national security reasons strong enough to instigate successful votes in both Congress and Parliament no later than April 8, 2008.
It remains unclear what, if any, say the citizens of Alaska and New Brunswick will have in the decision-making process, though it is understood that both the Governor of Alaska and the Premier of New Brunswick have been briefed and are on side.

Yeah, OK.
After all, if you didn't have enough mussels, you'd have to start lifting weights.

Knew it was bogus when I read "sipping Margaritas together"
President Bush abstains from drinking.
Isn't Margarita a more female type of drink too.
If Bush did drink I would think a good Brew with a few shots.

Can we trade the Northeast for Alberta too? I guess Bush is right.. You guys are addicted to oil..
All I hear from Americans here is "we want Alberta", "we'll trade
anything for Alberta".
I wonder if they have rehabs for oil junkies??
