I hear that a poutine national holiday has been declared by the Government of Canada.
To celebrate the occasion, the Conservative Party of Canada is reported to be preparing robocalls to go out to all Canadians in each province and territory, inviting them to a picnic in their respective ridings, where they will be served up poutine as prepared by Chef Pierre.
There is also another robocall to go out to all non-Conservatives, telling them that the location of the picnics has been changed to the Fake Lake located in Toronto, Ont.
