Santa's a Canadian, according to the federal government. Jason Kenney, the minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, has formally awarded Canadian citizenship status to Santa Claus, the government announced Tuesday. “The Government of Canada wishes Santa the very best in his Christmas Eve duties and wants to let him know that, as a Canadian citizen, he has the automatic right to re-enter Canada once his trip around the world is complete,” Kenney said in an official statement. Just three weeks ago, the Conservative government proposed legislation to expand the country's sovereignty over Arctic waters. International law at present states that no country has dominion over the North Pole, but the United States, Russia, Norway, Denmark and Canada have been pushing their claim to the area long believed to be the location of Santa's office and residence.

At least he’s not a communist - the rich kids always get better presents

You know how to tell Santa is Canadian? Molson muscle.
Santa has a Certificate of Live Birth from Hawaii.
Ho Ho Eh?
This is ridiculous. Santa’s clothes are obviously laplander in origin, not to mention his reindeer. This means he’s got to be a citizen of norway and likely frequents spitzbergen island. maybe even was born there.
Note: just because he’s a citizen of norway, doesn’t mean he’s norweigian. In fact, he isn’t. He’s laponian.
Actually, I believe Saint Nicholas can claim Greek citizenship (by blood) and Turkish citizenship by place of birth. But most importantly, his citizenship is that of Heaven, where the passport is sealed in the Blood of Christ.
In other news, Obama declared natural US Citizen by himself.
Be very careful! This seemingly benign gesture is devious and evil in intent.
By awarding the Canadian citizenship to Santa they are laying a claim to the North Pole.
Let us face it. This is just another attempt by those sneaky Canucks to shut down the Northwest Passage to us!
The Canadians try to lay claim to Alexander Graham Bell also, so this is nothing new for them. ;)
Nice, but there already is a jolly Canadian fellow with a beard out there. His name is Mark Steyn.
How can I explain this one to my kids now? I think I will have the wife do it. She has the brains anyways.
Not a chance. He's North Polish...
I didn’t know Santa was a Muslim.
They’re going to get a helluva fight from Superman.
Canada’s red and white flag has long since honored Santa —so why not????
So far I think “Santa Claus” or “St. Nick (as the original)” is a Citizen of Canada, Turkey, Russia, The USA..the world.
I’m changing my tagline from your comment.
