Reindeer in Canada? Do you get them, or are they only there for the exotic meat market?

Reindeer
"These reindeer for Santa's sleigh," said Steve, frowning. Emma, who finally felt that the tinsel was high enough to be safe and was now fireproofing the Christmas tree because she knew that all the students at WrongStart were secret arsonists, tried to sound interested as she said, "Yes?"
"They're moose," said Steve, "with red noses glued on, which isn't concealing the fact that they're angry and, I think, in heat."
"They're probably not interested in the children though," said Emma distractedly, "so we're probably fine."

Greg - it's Christmas, Greg. Reindeer show up all over the world.

Hah, those two 'probably's in the final line are rather worrisome :)
