The (Earth's) magnetic North_Pole attracts a magnet's south_pole

[Capiert]

 because opposite poles attract.

That (interpretation)
 has been the (obvious) definition
 for centuries, i.e.
 based on the Earth('s poles' names),
 standard.

So my compass_needle's blue_part
 which points North,
 must be a south_pole magnet.

That (attraction)

is correct (not wrong)

glad (happy) that

You (not me) have

realized (discovered) this.

[Capiert]

I'm also happy for your happiness. Merry Christmas.

That (also)
 means
 a compass
 will always point
 to a north_pole,
 even a magnet's (north_pole,
 whichever is stronger).

If I bring my compass
 near a magnet,
 then its needle('s blue_part, arrow_tip)
 will point
 at the magnet's north_pole (instead).

So that magnet's north_pole
 is the same ((kind of) magnetism pole)
 as the (Earth's, Canadian) "North"_Pole.

=It'( i)s NOT a south_pole (magnetism).

(=Only the compass_needle tip is a south_pole (there),
 & the magnet's opposite end, (is) also (a south_pole).

The same (kind of)
 south_pole (magnetism)
 found in antarctica
(where the Penguins live).)

((The compass_needle's tail=(opposite_)end
 is (also) a north_pole (magnetism).))
