OT: Outsourcing - Canadian Style

The question of outsourcing is often discussed on the wreck, and so I
submit this for your consideration.


(excerpted from The Philadelphia Inquirer 12/11/04)

It seems the nation that gave us Avril Lavigne, Peter Jennings,
Michael J. Fox and Diana Krall is facing a serious employment crisis.

Not enough doctors? Lawyers? Flannel-shirt makers?

Nope. Turns out there's a critical shortage of strippers in the land
of moose and maple syrup.

That's right, the scarcity is so severe that for the last five years,
Canadian officials have relaxed immigration laws to get pole dancers
to move their assets up north.

The government added exotic dancers to a list of sorely needed
"skilled professionals" (alongside computer specialists, nannies and
professors), so they could fast-track work visas for gals with nothing
but a G-string and a dream.

That's what analysts call a boom-and-bust economy.

Not surprisingly, the lawmakers who massaged the regulations turned
red-faced when Canadian newspapers finally exposed the scam.

And late last week, officials vowed to close the loophole, if not the
strip clubs.

If you ask me, the entire affair makes one wonder why Canada can't
grow its own exotic dancers.

Is it too cold?



Regards,
Tom.

In case you wanted to know, the strippers up here are NOT required to wear a
G-string...well that's what I have been told anyway ;)

Thanks. I did _not_ need that mental image. I must have missed that
episode.

not really, she doesn't have the butt for it. and as far as entertainers go
Canada has the guys from the "Red Green show" just make sure you don't
think of them and strippers at the same time, like Harold in a g-string,
not a good thought

Canadians think that stripping is beneath them. A probable Victorian =

Well you keep stealing our actors, comedians and the occasional news
anchor. We have to have something to keep "us" Canadians
entertained.

Besides, only one of those you mentioned below would look good in a
g-string.
