There is a federal election looming over the Canadian people and the usual political shenanigans have ensued. Although politicians on both sides of the border pull the same crap every election season, people are beginning to tire of the routine.
I know The Hook is.
Personally, I’d rather see politicians actually hurl mud at each other, perhaps in a pit, than hurl the same slings and arrows in the public arena. I know most Americans would be down with the concept if Sarah Palin was signed up.

But seriously why don’t politicians just come out and say something like “My opponent is an alcoholic, Satan-worshiping, philanderer AND a cannibal!” At least the direct approach would prove refreshing. Even my twelve-year-old can see the flaw in the political machine.
Have these politicians actually considered the future and the fact she’ll be too disillusioned to vote when the time comes? Because that’s what’s happened to her old man.
And most of North America for that matter.
You know what? I can’t speak for the everyone, but this political stuff is pretty dry for The Hook’s taste. Here’s a non-partisan image everyone can agree on.
If “actresses” like Bree Olson “manned the polls” during the next round of elections, voter turnout would be record-setting!
Think about it.

Very cool! You’ve prettied up the place a bit!
“Have these politicians actually considered the future and the fact she’ll be too disillusioned to vote when the time comes? Because that’s what’s happened to her old man.”
That is what they are counting on, and it seems to be effective eh?
I suppose you’re right. Don’t worry, I still vote, and Sarah will too someday.
Combine Bree with the mudslinging and you’ll really bring them in…
My point exactly!
Ohhhh first things first… your header picture??? Oh la la! Very pretty!!!
Secondly… politicians are just insecure high school loners who want to feel good by being the bully. And who talk big.
Thirdly… Hell I would even vote AND pay to watch politicians mud wrestle. Fancy idea!!!!
It is a great idea, isn’t it?
Oh Stop it….a non-partisan image [Bree Olson].
Not only would more voters turn out – but a great number of them would be turned on.
I wouldn’t mind spectating a political mud wrestling match or two either. Perhaps run a live feed of it on FaceBook? Woo hoo! lol!
In the US — the next match up could possibly be OBAMA vs. TRUMP. A real comedy.
