Polar Bear Day!

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are found in the arctic (polar) regions of the northern hemisphere, including the United States (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Norway, and Greenland -- today there are seven polar bear populations in these regions. Although the polar bear population had been declining for many years due to over hunting, during the past quarter century the "polar bear nations" have aggressively enacted legislation to ensure its survival. The efforts seem to be working -- although there are only 20,000 to 40,000 polar bears living in the wild, their population remains relatively stable.

I suggest that, in the coming years, on this day, all Canadians (especially those residing in the two territories as well as those in the northern-most regions of Québec, Manitoba and Saskatchewan) ADOPT A POLAR BEAR!
Since the poor Ursus Maritimus is seeing his natural habitat dwindle to nothingness as the wretched global warming curse is affecting it particularly, he needs a new spot to... lay around and do nothing! What better than Canadian wastelands, eh? It's not like Canadians will EVER make anything of those cold spots either! So, surely Saskatchewans (is that what they're called?) can live with having polar bears as their neighbors - they have the Sasquatch as their provincial hero for crying out loud! A little tussle (say, Sasquatch versus 20 polar bears! I want the bears to have fun mugging and mauling!) could make for suitable local entertainment - rife with Canadian content... on a regular basis too!
The polar bears might even like it in the Maritimes too (being ursus maritimus types and all...) but summers might be tough on them there...
Stick to Hudson Bay and James Bay, Bad Boys of the Arctic, I say!
Take it all over - since Canadians aren't doing much with it anyway!
