WASHINGTON DC—Secret Service officials have confirmed that over a dozen Canadian nationalists gained access to secure areas of the White House yesterday in an apparent mission to gather intelligence on American operations. The Canadian spies reportedly got through the normally tight White House security by posing as an American hockey team and were even able to reach President Obama.

The security lapse is unprecedented and Secret Service officials say they are now taking every precaution and pro-active measure to ensure national security. “At this time we are unsure of the specific intelligence these Canadian operatives were able to obtain,” said the Secret Service in a statement released this morning. “We also have quarantined all White House staff, including the President and have run them through a battery of medical tests to ensure no topical poisons or chemical agents were administered during the security breach.”

In the meantime, all diplomatic ties with the Canadian government have been cut off until they reveal the details of their espionage mission and the Department of Homeland Security has asked all Canadians and people of Canadian decent currently in the United States to report to temporary detainment camps for questioning.
