Is it just me, or are scandals getting a little old?
Was anyone honestly surprised when allegations began to surface about Tory subterfuge? I certainly wasn’t. In fact, I really don’t even consider it news.
Most Canadians don’t, either. We could care less. Federal advertisements funded by regional ridings? They only folks up in arms are Elections Canada employees, and we all know what Mr. Harper does to public servants who dare stand in his way.
We, as a democratic society, voted one set of politicians into power over another. Perhaps the House of Commons should try reversing the seating, because something is obviously wrong with the chairs. Or perhaps it’s the air. Maybe the offices they occupy.
Whatever the cause, politicians in power, or fighting for power, do dirty things. We Canadians are so used to it, it doesn’t even cross our radar. Complicated financial transfers can’t hold a candle to the NHL playoffs.
Until I rule the country with my iron fist, the wheels of government aren’t about to change, and the most common axel grease going is scandal.
So I guess it’s time to curl up on the couch and watch Don Cherry. Hoping against hope he doesn’t run for public office.
If you really want to get my attention, call in Mike Holmes to clean out all the shoddy work that’s been rotting away in our government. Nothing like a man in overalls sporting a sledgehammer to get the real work done.
