Can't say I'm surprised by the Punjabi requirement at Calgary Airport. Their entire security staff is made up of brown folks. It would stand to reason that one or two might speak Punjabi.
Mind you, it's a bit weird that it's a job
requirement. Kinda suggests that some folks on staff don't have a great command of English. But hey, whatever works.

Well YOU maybe don't change the name. I like changing names though. Keeps the holidays from getting boring. Every year you celebrate a different secular thing. Snow. Cabbage. Bob Saget. An Onion. And every year you have to change the songs to fit. Now there's a fun school project, and a concert the whole family of humanity can enjoy.
