Why I love Canada

In what other country could this possibly occur?
Tell me!

1. although, I did have to wonder where Paul Martin got those hair dryers

(for installing the plastic)

One -- let alone TWO such devices.
It's not as if he, ahem, has a lot of it to begin with ...
(Though the PM is a good sport. An acquaintance who worked for him says that he really is like that.)

I hope that they use the clip for Mercer's energy-saving ads!

2. Well, Nixon did a couple of seconds on Laugh-In.

"Sock it to ME?!"

3. Wow. Must be nice

to have real human beings in government, instead of a bunch of shit-filled automatons incapable of having an original thought and who want no contact with us flesh and blood critters. I so envy you.

I know, Martin isn't everybody's fave but in comparison to down here, you are blessed.

6. "You had to have had a good laugh at this picture" He asks Martin.

"What do you thinkg?" answers Martin. "It was a good day."

"He looks like he's dressed to go to Brissons' wedding." sez Mercer.
