Canada Just Happy Iran Noticed

In a rare manoeuvre that experts are calling “a double take-sies back-sies” Canada has severed diplomatic ties with Iran, while Iran has called Canada stupid and seriously, why would you ever want to go there and also they're assholes.

Earlier this week Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister told Piss-Awesome Journalism to “Tell that Iran that we're not talking to them.” and someone else with some time to waste ran with the story, enabling another all too common instance of Canada behaving like a smug feline that pisses in your shoe and hopes you notice before it slinks away, but if you don't notice well-then-that-just-proves-the-point-now-doesn't-it. Luckily for Canada's ego, Iran acknowledged Canada's little stunt. On Wednesday, the Iran Foreign Ministry issued a travel advisory for the citizen they let travel to the Great Satan by mistake. According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry there is a fear that Iranian citizens in Canada might be targeted because we're afraid of their awesomeness or something.

What is already being described as a diplomatic row was escalated Wednesday during Iranian President Mahmaoud Adminijihappab's speech to the United Nations General Assembly. In a laid back, free-formed speech Adminijaab expanded on his Foreign Ministry's points, saying “Have you ever seen Saskatoon? It's more depressing than Iraq, because at least you know why Iraq sucks. Iraq got bombed to shit. Iraq has a reason. Saskatoon just sucks. I mean the whole city smells like wasted potential, like rotten cookie dough. It's just embarrassing.” Admittajabb then ran over his allotted time when he picked up the mic and started doing some improvised crowd work. “Hey Poland's here, Poland's in the crowd. You know what I like about Poland? Cheap whores. Heyo! But seriously, Poland is full of whores and the righteous will burn them for it.” It was at this point that the delegations from USA, Canada and a few European Union members walked out of the UN General Assembly hall in protest. “The guy has had years to put together a solid twenty minutes, and here he is making up nonsense and wasting everyone's time.” a delegate from the USA said, “Every year he seems less like an evil mastermind and more like someone who wants to be an evil mastermind. It's about time for him to pack it in.”

International relations experts have sighed heavily and turned away from their lunches to speak on the now full fledged and totally real diplomatic row. “It was a pragmatic decision on Canada's part,” Ovaltine Goose-Shredder said Thursday, “Canada barely has any economic relations with Iran because of the economic sanctions and Canada wouldn't be taking the lead in any diplomatic talks. It will be the United States or an International Regulatory Body that gets to sit down at the grown-ups table. Canada decided to stop paying someone to sit in a room and twiddle their thumbs and then made a big show about leaving. And some goon took the bait. This is two countries enabling each others worst habits. Canada gets to pretend they matter and Iran gets to play the victim. Now let me get back to my chicken salad.” Goose-Shredder then spent the rest of the interview complaining about the chopped olives in his sandwich, because honestly, who does that?

Probably the biggest revelation of the day came when Canada's Immigration Minister admitted that there has been a systematic, legislated framework for mistreating Iranian citizens within Canada for decades. “I'm surprised it took them this long to catch on,” he said Thursday, “We lead Iranians straight through customs and into a snake pit. Well, that or they get a choice to fight a moose. If they win we let them go back to Iran. If they lose they get snake pitted. I don't know why this is news to anyone, the fights are broadcast late nights on CTV. Ultimate Moose Fights is the highest rated anything, ever.” The Right-Honourable Minister then elaborated on exactly why this diplomatic row started in the first place, saying “People just don't think Canada is capable of behaving badly. I mean, no one even remembers that whole Afgan torture thing! It's about time Canada changed it's mild-mannered image. We're going to start pissing people off. This means that from now on Prime Minister Harper will wear a leather jacket and swing a bike chain at international gatherings, so watch out, Cambodia.” The Immigration Minister then dropped the mic and walked away from the podium yelling, “Yeah, who's got the balls now?”

Experts agree, still not Canada.
