| CANADA'S SOURCE FOR HUMOUR, PARODY, AND SATIRE
 by Fubrics Short
It is with no surprise
that some of the Alliance Rebels have formed a holy entente with the once-mighty
Progessive Conservative party, some say only for the sitting of parliament
(that is where the government of this fine country meets for deliberation
for those who are not in the know, or perhaps have forgotten), but this
scribe knows better, having spent the better part of thirty years sitting
in this creaking tower overlooking the Rideau Canal, having watched many
political seasons, the verdant Spring, filled with hope after a new election,
the melancholic Fall and Winter of despair before the next one, I have
seen many, and I am not fooled by this splitting of hairs between sitting
as One in Parliament, but as a separate entity outside, they should know
the Empire will not allow that, they did not at Hoth, they will not at
Ottawa, they will be consumed by the immoderate rump of that once-mighty
power that Diefenbaker steered and that Mulroney scuttled, or drove to
the slaughterhouse, I have seen the glint in Joe Clark's eye, it is only
a matter of time before their Will, their Essence of hope for change and
honesty is drained into a vial for the Ancients of Ottawa to drink for
their own immortality and self-preservation, just as the resources of
timber and beaver pelt is sucked out of the hinterlands surrounding Upper
and Lower Canada, out of the Northwest Territories, out of the Territory
of Assiniboia and into the economic whirlpool that is our fair capital
