Whooooooo .. George … You think you got eyes in back of your wee head?

Time is Up

Time is up George.
No George, I have no idea how to say “time is up” in another language.

The thing is, we live in a democracy where two languages are equally good. It doesn’t matter which of the two languages you speak. As long as you are able to stretch your response out into something that passes for sentences you’ll never have to actually answer questions, even in Parliament. So, where do they get this training? Is it part of the job description?

Here is an example of Time is up” in action.

Accountability?
So what does Mr. Fortier say about something being too big to be allowed to fail?

George, I have no idea whether Mr Fourtier is connected to SNCLavalin.

English Ears

English Ears ver.2

English is my language

An english tongue I have

With which to speak

English ears with which to hear

My ears are open.

Willing to meet foreign sounds at least half-way.

Other ears must be equally open.

So I listen …
What are they saying?

It is not that I have shut them out.

I have no idea

What these words are saying

To my open ears.

Where are the scholars of the world?

Who is there to build the bridges?

Between Eastern voices and Western ears.

Who builds the bridges

Between Western voices and Eastern ears.

Where are the scholars? Where are the bridges?

Tell me … What are they saying?

Please tell me what that man is saying?

Tell me if you will

What that woman has to say

How can there be world peace without world communication?
