EXPLANATION OF POLITICS - THIS IS BRILLIANT

Whether
Conservative,
Liberal
or
Labour , I
think
you'll get

a kick out of
this!

Alittle boy goes to his

dad and asks, 'What is Politics?'

Dad says, 'Well son, let

me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the

family, so call me The Prime Minister.

Your mother is the

administrator of the money,

so we
call her the Government.

We are here to take care

of your needs, so we will call you the
People.
The nanny, we will
consider her the WorkingClass.

And your baby brother,
we will call him the Future.

Now think about that and
see if it makes sense.'

So the little boy goes

off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he

hears his baby brother crying,

so he
gets up to check on him.

He finds that the
baby
has severely soiled his nappy.

So the little boy goes

to his parent's room

and
finds his mother asleep.

Not
wanting to wake her,

he goes
to the nanny's room.
Finding the door locked,

he
peeks in the keyhole and

sees
his father in bed with the nanny..

He gives up and goes
back tobed.

The next morning, the

little boy say's to his father,

'Dad,
I think I understand the concept of politics now. '

The father says,

'Good, son, tell me in
your own words
what you think politics is all
about.'

The little boy replies,

'The
Prime Minister

is
screwing the Working Class

while
the Government is sound asleep.
The People are being ignored
and
the Future is in deep shit.'

Thanks Ivan

Shanghai lights on the Yangtzee

It was a rainy night, the crowds were incredible but at no time were they intimidating. We met 4 of the sweetest 7 and 8 year old's who were so excited to talk to us and all had an excellent grasp of English.

The ship was crowded but young people got up and offered us their seats. The people are generous, observant and attentive.

Conservatives follow Stephen Harper

What is his game????

I can indeed. @zchamu @kady can you shed some light on what happened in 2006? For comparison's sake?

The snake in grass is still playing games

@Kady: Lifting the curtain on Harper's covert exit strategy

OCTOBER 28, 2015 6:15 PM

First off, we should note that we still have no details on exactly how—or even when — Stephen Harper notified Rideau Hall of his intent to officially resign.

What day, exactly? What time of day? Who was present? How long the discussion lasted? All those question remain unanswered.

But as of today, we can state, with reasonable certainty, that Harper has indeed served notice to Governor General David Johnston that he would voluntarily cede power to the incoming Liberal government on Nov. 4. As unfathomable as it may seem in a modern, functioning parliamentary democracy, right up until Wednesday, there was no hard evidence that it actually happened.

Even now, no official notice has been released to the media or posted to the Rideau Hall website, nor has Harper’s office issued a statement confirming that he will resign.

The only reason we know is because a Rideau Hall spokeswoman finally took pity on — or got fed up with — being pestered for a clear answer to what seemed (at least to us) a fairly simple yes-or-no question: Has Stephen Harper resigned as prime minister, or not?
