Minor politics
Take your new stories as they come. Today, or yesterday, this country received a new Prime Minister period. Designate. He is not being sworn in and might not be. That’s how we do things up here in Canada with a total lack of clarity. And for those of you who are outside the country being the Prime Minister is not the same as being the President or the King or any of those other really good jobs. This is a chance to be abused by your peers. For years. A chance to get a private car that only takes you where the others want to go. So where does this leave us? Apparently we will have an election. Or actually hundreds of them because again this is Canada. Soon but the date is not yet chosen at least not publicly. And when they finally get around to announcing the election campaign we will spend far too much money on advertising. Our way of showing up the failing resource is of the media world. I have no choice but to watch it. I am a member of a captive audience. Besides it could be fun. Once in a while the insults rise above the innocent mundane level used in Canadian politics from time to time. My favourite through the years? Selective deafness. You can look it up. And since the House of Commons is in recess for another few weeks. Take that as you will. By the time it all gets sorted out the interest of the public will have moved on to something else. Canadian politics is so polite. It also keeps those across the border from really understanding what is going on. The title Governor Trudeau is already too old to matter. I didn’t even get a hat or a T-shirt. I do need some new T-shirts but the hat leaves me indifferent. I also, will have to check in with the children to see that they are awake and paying attention. Hate for them to miss the most interesting time of the year. Maybe they need a new hat. Or a lawn sign. Something to keep as a family memory.
