    Wow, a new president already. Must have hit a nerve somewhere, Wells.

    Ezra Levant isn't busy, is he?

      Not very. On Twitter he just suggested that Arafat's widow would be "not a bad fit."

          That's just a smoke screen. He's interested all right…he knows Arafat's widow wont meet the conflict of interst guidelines[ neither should Ezra come to that]
          He could be still pounding out his cv. Doubt if he'll call your posters for a reference though.

            Maybe he meant Ms. Arar. Spell check didn't work.

    Wait a minute, I thought the Government of Canada was a vacancy.

    See? Proof Democracy hasn't been suspended after all.. just unemployed.

    What else has been running in the Canada Gazette this month, under the cover of prorogation and Biblical disaster?

      Notice therefore is hereby given that the Ministers of the Environment and of Health propose to take no further action on aluminum chloride, aluminum nitrate and aluminum sulphate at this time

      In keeping with the spirit of not taking further action.

      Notice is hereby given that the Department of the Environment intends to recommend to the Governor in Council that amendments be made to the Migratory Birds Regulations

      I guess some issues of national importance are still being discussed.

    To combat terrorism, I think there should be a ban on Muslim-sounding names in the phone book. I've also visited the creationist museum. Maybe I should apply…

    It would be kinda funny if people started submitting joke applications. The possibilities for political satire are potentially endless. Even funnier if one of the joke applications actually won . . .

      So tempting, Frijol. So bloody tempting.

    Nice to see that the acoustics in the echo chamber are in tune.
