I read this last week. Hmmmm...I guess Santa got fed up with Ottawa and decided to separate before Quebec and Alberta.

I suppose that means that the declinations called out on the 1927 and 1983 series USGS topographical quadrangles are rapidly becoming BS.

It's the opposite, Tom.
Magnetic north leaving Canada wrecks havoc to its Feng Shui.
What you see is the symptom, not the cause.

If you really need something to worry about, consider the pole reversals mentioned in the article that have occurred in the past and may be about to occur again. Think about the birds such as homing pigeons that orient their flight in part by sensing the magnetic field. Think about the Van Allen belt, its relationship to the earth's magnetic field, and the function it performs in protecting us from high energy particles. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I'm very afraid that Santa may have troubles getting travel visas to go Canada and the US at Christmas- not mention quarantining his reindeer.

About those "magnetic 'jerks' that are propelling the magnetic North Pole" out of Canada. Gotta be those damn Yankees! I always suspected your nuclear submarines were doing something up there. What are you guys up to now? :wink:

You couldn't stand that we had something you didn't, could you? You couldn't leave well enough alone.... And then what do you do but go and sell it to the Russians! The nerve.

But that's OK, they can have it, it was drawing too much attention to us anyway. They can keep magnetic north, because we're still the "true north strong and free", and can still whip their asses anytime at hockey, which here in Canada, is all that matters.
