TORONTO (The Borowitz Report)Canada, already bracing for the possible inflow of millions of American refugees in November, might have made matters worse by releasing an unacceptably adorable photo of its Prime Minister hugging two baby pandas, Canadians fear.
The photo, taken at the Toronto Zoo and showing Justin Trudeau cuddling with two panda cubs, was the last thing this country needed, Harland Dorrinson, the executive director of Canadians for Responsible Immigration, a prominent anti-immigration organization based in Ottawa, said.
Canada is already staring down the potential crisis of millions of Americans pouring over its border later this year, Dorrinson said. Did we really have to announce that we have pandas, too?
The news photo, which Dorrinson called an unmitigated disaster, is expected to worsen the influx of illegal Americans because, he said, in addition to pointing out that Canada has pandas, it is also reminding people that our Prime Minister is an unusually handsome man, especially for someone in government.
In an open letter published online, the anti-immigration leader urged Trudeau to put his country first and cancel a visit scheduled for Friday at the Winnipeg Puppy and Kitten Shelter.

The question, to me, is whether I'd rather be bored under Hillary Clinton or not bored under Bernie Sanders.
It is inconceivable,no matter what the pollsters and pundits say, that we would vote into office a shady real estate developer. EOS
