Forgive the quality of the picture (it’s a screen grab) and the quality of the minister (it’s a Van Loan.)

None of this should stop you from regarding this image from outside Rideau Hall and making with the funny.

    This *has* to make the top five. Easily the funniest entry of the day.

  • Van Loaner

    Now that I’ve been 'promoted' to Minister of International Trade, I have made this baby my new deputy minister. Qualifications? Does beating me at Test the Nation: IQ count…?

    LOL,

    I feel bad that Fay's comment is at -2. I think people are taking her comment seriously, but I can't imagine that her comment wasn't meant as a joke.

    "Welcome everyone to the first annual Budget Deficit Amelioration Auction. First item up for bidding is Scott Reid's first born son. Can we open the bidding at $5?"

  • Sigh

    It might have been more apparent if she had put quotation marks around it, so people would know it was Van Loan saying it.

    Woman: Under Martin it would have been universal daycare, but with the Tories $100 a month this is all the childcare I can afford.
