Hey, remember when Canadian politics were boring?

1. Lucky for us we've had BC politics to keep us laughing

2. BC politics are always good for a laugh or two
But I remember when the Conservatives rang the bells back in the 80s. Good times.

3. LOL, I ended up on DU because Canadian politics were SO
dull and boring compared to US free-for-alls. I guess it comes back to 'be careful what you wish for', lol.

4. My favorite moment was back in 1990
When Mulroney :puke: was packing the Senate to get the GST through and the place turned into the Geezers from Hell. That was most entertaining, especially when the Grit senators threw the doors open and invited in the media--"Come on in! There's no democracy here!" "Dictatorship in Canada!", etc. I heard there was actual brawling in the aisles before that; I'd have pain good money to see that!
:popcorn:
