2. That's great! Here's a section for Canadian Corporation
...written moments ago by an actual person of undisputed Canadian persuasion (not me, but a friend):

CANADIAN CORPORATION

You have two cows and hectares of well-watered meadow in which to graze them. The cows flourish and produce much milk.

You sell the surplus milk at market value to your government (who have already subsidized your production).The government then sells it to several needy countries at cost so their children can grow strong and healthy. A huge deficit is built up over several years.

The government defends it's policies ad nauseum in the house, the entire story is covered ad nauseum by every major media outlet in the country. A government committee investigates and finds no wrong-doing on the part of the government although there are emerging questions about the quality of the milk due to several acres of pot which were being grown surreptitiously in the faaaar corner of the meadow. This corner has become a favourite grazing spot for the two milk cows. The coverage continues every night ad nauseum . . .

Meanwhile, the CALIFORNIANS complain to their Federal government that you are undercutting their milk production (SHHHHH!) and that your price is subsidized by the Canadian government. This is a clear contravention of the Free Trade Agreement, subsection 4.10.135a, pertaining specifically to milk-producing cows, never mind the fact that you and the Canadian government have been selling drug-riddled product to those poor unsuspecting children.

Stay tuned for pictures and continuing coverage on CBC at eleven.
