CBC News – the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the equivalent of the BBC there – reports right across Canada (and the world):
MALTA TO SELL CITIZENSHIPS FOR 650K APIECE
Prime minister expects citizenship sale will bring in 30M euros
Malta’s Parliament has voted to sell its citizenship for 650,000 euros ($915,590 Cdn), granting buyers a coveted passport that allows them into the 28-nation European Union.
The plan approved Wednesday is expected to go into effect within a few weeks. Prime Minister Joseph Muscat predicts it will bring in 30 million euros ($42.3 million Cdn) annually and help ease the country’s deficit.

Where is Joseph Muscat right now? Where’s Kurt Farrugia? Shouldn’t they be in a crisis meeting, working to sort out the self-inflicted mess they didn’t see coming?
Please don’t tell me they’re all ranged round a table wearing Edward Debono’s ridiculous thinking hats.
Oh, but they did see it coming, and they simply don’t care. In their feeble underdeveloped minds, Europe is “smelling the coffee”.
