IQALUIT – After a long flight from Ottawa, Prime Minister Stephen Harper arrived in the North earlier this week to sit down and discuss with Northern leaders and communities on the progress of photo development in the North.
“Our government has not forgotten its responsibility in the North,” Harper said to the people of Cambridge Bay with a population of 1,100. “Which is to ensure that all the photos up here are developed. Not many Northerners have access to photos photos of their Prime Minister. This is why I come every year to resupply them with new ones.”
Harper also stated that enhancing photo development also helps Canada reassert its Arctic sovereignty.
“Just look at the one from last year,” an excited Harper stated while pointing at a photo of himself. “I’m aiming a gun while surrounded by Canadian Rangers. That ought to scare the Ruskies.”
At press time, Inuit children were calling Harper “Summer Santa”: a lazier version of the original who comes once every August, but never leaves any presents.
