Short Stories Humour
The British “say” is small, I do admit, in that the king or queen only sign their X on the doted line…and if they don’t then, then… we just might stop flying this stupid paper work back and forth. We will then leave in a huff, and find some other king or queen in the world willing to waste their time and energy on our paper work and signing on the doted lines. We Canadians do this kind of stuff because we want all the people in the world to like us, maybe they will be our friends on Facebook.
We have a Prime Minister of Canada and he is the head man or woman of the Canadian government.
There is also the members of the Senate who are appointment by the Prime Minister’s office. These guys are there for the rest of their lives. The Senate of Canada is kind of like a prison except their pay is way better, and you don’t have to shovel snow if you get appointed to the Senate, (you just get your servant to do that for you). The Senators, I hear, also get only a modest wage, but it’s enough that they can buy a lamborghini for their punk kid and a limousine for themselves if they miss the transit bus to work (which is always… the bus is always changing the pick-up time). I don’t say this for spite of the wasting of the taxpayers’ money or the fact that Senators are appointed and not elected… that stuff is all politics. I say it because I want to know how I can sign up for this leisure so I don’t have to go to work, and yet get paid!
The provinces also have representatives, called MLAs, in the Legislative Assembly. The MLAs help govern areas called constituencies. And again the number of seats in the Assembly varies according to the population. The province of Saskatchewan has about 55 seats in the House. (I like the “about” which was quoted to me on the phone when I ask someone who is in close to the practice and is even running in the next election.) I have to give them credit for at least staying in the ballpark of under 100 seats to serve the needs of just the one million Saskatchewanians living here. I just hope, I did not leave the impression that we need more MLAs that only know about the word and nothing else. In my mind, I thought the MLAs would have take a test before they are allowed to run in an election, kind of like a driving test.
You know what? That gave me an idea, I just may run to win a seat someday. Of course, I would take the test, (which I would have to first compose), and if I pass I can be very confident that I would be one of the smartest MLAs known in the flat lands of Saskatchewan!
Canadian Government of Canada Politics MP MLA
O Canada what is there…about 308 seats in the House of Commons? Each one of these seats are occupied by a woman or man who was voted in by obtaining the most collective votes.
Their title is called MPs. Each MP is delegated a swath of land (called a riding) which is divide up according to the population of the people. In Canada, I guess, they go by at least every couple of hundred people or so. (Yah, in some areas the population is rather scarce.)
Our politics are “old school” for the most part, yet we have managed to mix a little “new school” in over the years. The “old school” politics means that the king or queen monarchs of jolly old England have a “say” in our law-making.
Nope, I don't know what this thing is ether? But is is Canadian...eh?
