Polar bear threatens beaver as Canada national symbol

TORONTO (Reuters) - A Canadian senator has launched a campaign to replace the industrious beaver with the indomitable polar bear as Canada's national emblem, saying the incumbent is "a dentally defective rat."

Conservative Senator Nicole Eaton delivered her damning criticism in the Senate on Thursday, noting that the beavers wreak havoc on the dock at her waterfront cottage every summer.

"A country's symbols are not constant and can change over time," she said. "The polar bear, with its strength, courage, resourcefulness and dignity is perfect for the part."

I think Polar Bear is best fit than Beaver.
 
no no i like beaver because i thought it fits canadians. but every time i see beavers and always think of canadians.
 
Sounds like the Senator has a personal axe to grind. :hmm:

The beaver is not only a symbol of intelligence and industriousness, it was also important in bringing commerce into pioneer Canada because of its pelts.
 
My brother have bumper sticker his truck which say: Be Canadian, eat beaver. Bring on polar bear!
