In case you haven’t heard or seen the signs up, there’s an election coming up in Canada May 2nd. A bunch of my colleagues here on the site will be covering it and offering their opinions over the next few weeks. Makes sense that I do the same, right?
That’s what I thought. Until I saw this ad via Facebook:
(loose translation: the Liberals and the Bloc are leaving the door open to illegal immigrants, fortunately we have Stephen Harper and the Conservatives)
I guess you could say that it really inspired me. So simple. So basic. So to the point. In fact, it’s such paint-by-numbers fear mongering that anyone could do the same. Wait, I thought to myself, I’m anyone. So, with that in mind, please allow me to announce my candidacy with this video:
On second thought, maybe I’m rushing into this one a little quickly. After all, an election campaign requires investment of money, time and keeping a straight face. Plus, the real downside is if you get elected, you actually have to do stuff.
So with that in mind, I’m just going to leave all the fear-mongering to the pros:
JASON C. McLEAN FOR PRIME MINISTER! on may 2nd, Vote!
That is the strangest video I have ever seen you in jason.
I lost the sound on my computer for the videos, maybe this is for the better? Anyway, Happy, Happy! Just remember that if you get elected, you have to do the right thing (it’s in the unofficial polititican’s credo) or it will affect your reputation.
