The Newest Canadian
The Dalai Lama has been given honorary Canadian citizenship. I think in honor of this, the Enlightened One should make sure to say "eh?" at the end of all of his sentences.
From the Toronto Star: The Dalai Lama has been given honorary Canadian citizenship. Members of Parliament agreed unanimously today to an NDP motion to grant the Tibetan spiritual leader the honour. It's the third time Parliament has approved such a measure. The only other honorary citizenships were bestowed on iconic South African leader Nelson Mandela, and on Raoul Wallenberg, credited with saving the lives of thousands of Hungarian Jews during the Second World War. The Dalai Lama is scheduled to visit Vancouver in September — his second visit to Canada in as many years.
