Iceland: Pissed Off, Sinking, & eyeing Canada
It has all come to a head; Icelandic Prime Minister announced the Icelandic government’s collapse yesterday. He probably wanted to avoid finding out what else could happen after having his car pelted with eggs by angry citizens. Sounds like they’re in search of an Obama. One would think the crisis would means drastically reduced airfares to that land of hot springs, but it seems the national airline missed the memo.
Meanwhile, who knew that there was an Iceland in Canada? Apparently, Gimli, Manitoba is a sizeable (pop 6000) ethnic block settlement of Bjork’s peeps. Given the current crisis, the town expects an rise in immigration from the homeland and the mayor confirms increased inquiries from Iceland. Globe&Mail reports:
“Such bleak prospects have prompted some Icelanders, for the first time in nearly a century, to look west, for a new home among the Manitobans they affectionately call Vestur Islandingur – West Icelanders”.
Canucks reportedly welcome the move, especially the potential flood of Ice blondes and Reyka vodka that it implies.
