Jason Kenney: Canadian Citizenship

Citizenship Ceremony Dept: Taxes have become a priority for Mr. Claus ever since Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney reconfirmed at a citizenship ceremony last year that Santa is, indeed, a Canadian citizen. Referring to his North Pole residency, Mr. Kenney said, "Santa lives in the Arctic North and that is Canadian territory. So when he comes to visit Canadian boys and girls, he doesn't have to go through the CBSA border clearance.", according to Montreal Gazette. Being Canadian, of course, brings with it a host of tax issues Mr. Claus should review to ensure he doesn't irk the ire of the taxman. Consider, first of all, his transportation. Does he keep a log of all his sleigh's kilometres? If he uses his vehicle partially for business purposes and partially for other purposes, he must prorate his expenses based on the distances driven and with just hours to go before Santa boards his sleigh and sets out on perhaps the world's longest yet fastest business trip, one can only wonder whether he's taken the time to consider the tax implications of his worldwide adventure. Further evidence of Mr. Kringle's Canadian citizenship include his Canadian postal code H0H 0H0 . (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
