OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA
AND KING OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT





Dear Public Servant:

Thank you for serving the Harper government over these many years. It's been a blast.
If you are receiving this letter, you're probably aware that your job has been red circled. Don't despair, you still have a chance to work for the Harper government.

Here are some handy hints to up your chances:
  • Don't blab to the media. We've noticed an awful lot of public servants who are freely telling everyone who will listen that they're probably going to lose their jobs, houses, families, college funds and gold plated pensions. Let us be clear: If you speak to the media, you will be fired. Like Santa, we're all about keeping a list and checking it twice.
  • Don't cry. As Tom Hanks once famously said: "There's no crying in baseball." That's our motto as well. "There is no crying in the Harper government." Ask Helena Guergis.
  • Don't tweet about it. Social media is evil. We will find you. And take away your computer. Oh, yes we will.
  • Sharpen up your skills. If you flunked French four times, you are out. Pointe finale. We don't care if you have twelve PhDs and you are the international expert in your field. If you can't parlez, go away.
  • We suggest that you hire a personal tutor and get those triple Cs. It doesn't matter if you have to quit your volunteer position as a Boy Scout leader; put the kids into hockey. We'll give you a tax credit.
  • Never forget who is boss in this town. It's Stephen Harper, Stephen Harper, Stephen Harper. Use this as your mantra. At the water cooler. On the OC Transpo bus home. Never forget the "Harper" in front of government. Your job depends on it.  (We're seriously considering an app.)
  • If you are red circled, don't forget our handy Tax Free Savings Account, not to mention Treasury Bills. Oh yes, and RRSPs are still your friend.
  • Don't bother going back to school. What for?
  • If you lose your job, don't bother going to an employment agency. We're eliminating all of them. Sorry 'bout that folks!
  • We are offering handy Employee Assistance Programs for all of you who are having difficulty coping. Except for soldiers. They don't need help. They're tough.
  • So go out and get your drink on. Be happy, not crabby. We are doing this for our own good -- and yours! We're teaching you resilience!
Thanks and have a wonderful day. The Team at Harpland.ca

Ashley Simpson: Don't Let Her Die in Vain

  Six years ago, I was combing through my Facebook and I saw post from my cousin Julie Major. Her brother and his wife were frantically looking for their daughter Ashley who just days before had Facetimed her mom saying she was planning to return to her home in Niagara. Ashley never made it home. She was murdered in cold blood in her home in Salmon Arm then buried in a nearby field. It would be five and a half years before her body was located, and her boyfriend was charged with second degree murder.  Today, Ashley's urn has a sacred spot in her parents' home, and Derek Favell is in jail awaiting trial by judge and jury. The trial is expected to go into next year sometime. This has been an agonizing journey for Ashley's friends and family. The pain has never stopped, and the wounds are broken open every time the family has to sit through a series of pre-trial proceedings. Fortunately, this ordeal will end but the pain will never wane for the people, including me, who have b...

Ashley Simpson: A Father Remembers

I have asked Ashley Simpson's family and friends to give us a glimpse into the life she lived before going missing nearly a month ago. Here is how her father John remembers his sweet girl. Ashley was a treat when she came into this world, a smashing 9lbs 8 ounces with a  head full of hair and nails that needed to be clipped. She has made many friends in her journey of life and continues to make them as we speak. She has made this world a better place by her love of mankind and this place we call Earth; unfortunately this life she has lived hasn't been the best for her. She has suffered through unbearable pain and suffering through her menstrual cycles. She has cysts on her ovaries that make those 10 days a living hell. She had one of her ovaries removed when she was just 14; the other they won't take out till she is 40 or older. Years of hell for my Ashley. I so feel her pain every month but she doesn't quit, doesn't give in.   That'...

What Bell isn't telling you about Fibe TV

Update: This week, we switched back to Rogers after spending far too long using Bell's crappy television service. For those with Bell, read and weep. For those considering Bell, think twice even if you hate Rogers. RS I've always been an early technology adapter. I had a Betamax. That tells you everything (if you're over 50 at least). My first computer was a "Portable". It weighed 40 pounds and I had to lug it around town on a gurney. I've been through probably 15 computers in my lifetime. Apple is the best. It's also too expensive so I have a piece of shit HP, the one I'm writing this blog on. I've had cable, internet and now Netflix. American Netflix . That's how far ahead of the curve I am. I get all the newspapers for free. How? I disabled my cookies so they can't track me when I'm on the newspaper sites. Even the New York Times hasn't cottoned on to that trick. Hahaha. That will be a fifty buck consulting fee. Bein...
