Stockwell's wetsuit apparently has a big "S" emblazoned on it.
Well, we presume he wears the wetsuit under his day clothes since there's no other way to explain how he could be in St. John's propping up a retiring caucus mate and at the same time be announcing $272 million bucks for British Columbia.
Meanwhile, the Uncaped Crusader, Minister of Public Safety stopped off at some point in the recent past to visit glorious Drayton Valley, unveil a memorial and chat with the locals about important issues of the Day.
Like, for argument's sake, the wonderful benefits of having a fixed election date:
Day said having a scheduled date not only removes power from the governing party to call a snap election, but it also allows voters to weigh the government actions accordingly.
“The people will no longer look at a new tax credit policy and wonder if it has been introduced because an election is going to be called soon,” said Day.
Maybe it is the Summer of Love, federal edition.
The local mayor got in a pitch for some of this decentralization stuff Stockwell and his pals have been musing about. The local mayor said the town is interested in getting something related to intelligence, the town apparently being a "good fit" for intelligence what with its emphasis on crime prevention.
Tell us, Moe - and that is the mayor's real first name - if there is a burg in this country from one end of 'er to the other that has an emphasis on crime encouragement?
And of course, this movement of intelligence from the National Capital Region into Drayton Valley would occur - should it occur - in such a manner that no one could possibly confuse the relocation of those fat federal paycheques with any pending election.
We'll leave aside the obvious joke about transferring intelligence from Ottawa and only note that public tit-sucking is clearly a national pass-time.
Moe might be running Drayton Valley, but Larry's heading up a Great City these days, Shemp has got a regional borough in Manitoba and another Larry, his brother Daryl and his other Daryl are the reeve, police chief and fire department head in a township in southwestern Ontario.
