Wild Vikings
Three Norwegian men calling themselves the "Wild Vikings" were arrested in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, cutting short their attempted voyage through the Northwest Passage in a sailboat.
Admittedly, the part of me that's of Scandinavian extract is cheering these guys on. The patriotic Canadian in me wonders if Harper's vaunted military patrol boats would have succeeded in stopping this dire threat to our sovereignty.
I do have to say that our current method doesn't inspire much confidence.
The RCMP's news release said warrants for the men's arrests were issued after they failed to report in Gjoa Haven.
Reporting to police ensures people who could be a threat to the country are not let in, Semotiuk said, but added that the Wild Vikings' arrest does not mean they pose a threat.
So if you're an undesirable that we don't want in our country, please be kind enough to report in to the RCMP when you get here so we can tell you to leave.
