If the Swiss have their private banks, which accept lucre no matter how it was obtained, why can’t Canada have its automotive electricians who build bombs out of the goodness of their heart for customers who are eager to blow up cars, bridges, or ‘something heavy’ in their home country, which conveniently happens to be miles away from Canada?
In other news, Al Qaeda’s bomb making division is planning to relocate to Canada. “Canada offers exciting opportunities to bomb makers from around the world to source materials for explosives and deliver these into the right hands with relatively little fear of prosecution”, it said in a press release. “As long as they don’t arm them, of course. Or know the people who do.” A visibly excited Canadian Trade Commission spokesman said, “Forget Afghanistan and Iraq. Canada is the place to be for sourcing explosives.” Prodded by an aide with about something that sounded suspiciously like a mumbled “war on terror”, he hastily added: “As long as you don’t actually use the darn things here, of course. I mean, you ought to only use them in places we don’t care very much about. Like India, or maybe Djibouti. Or France.”
