No Snow Job

Budget Budget 2013 on the Fall
Who's the fairest one of them all?
Well, of course you are my dearest Dunder-Fall

Budget Budget 2015 on the Rise
Who's the Fairest of them all?
Why, it's the Voters, my dearest Dunder-Demise


Queen D is shocked to learn that The Voter is still alive!

"Hadn't my huntsman taken care of my nemesis as I instructed him!!?
she wailed across the Kingdom for all to hear.

"I was certain that my strategy to kill The Voter was foolproof -

 

No debate or vote on Muskrat Falls;

Destructive Bill 29;

Short Legislative Sessions;

Appearing only at Fluff events;

Harsh Budget Cuts;

Hiding$90 M (which could have been used to resuscitate The Voter)

Pretending to be a Have province in one venue

and then switching to Have-not when I needed a few dollars;

Gross Fiscal mismanagement;

Completely ignoring the Fishery;

Padding the Polls;

Colouring all the windows in the Kindom Blue."

 

 

" Oh dear, I guess I will have to get more ruthless to kill off The Voter!"

 

And so, the story goes that Queen D disguises herself as an old peddler

and goes after The Voter (alas, another job cut in the "Huntsman" department)

And so after many failed attempts, she comes up with a brilliant idea.

She concocts a poisoned apple and The Voter looks at the apple, starts to bite it ...

 

and then suddenly gives  Queen D the stink eye and says

"You gotta be kiddin me missus!  You think I am going to fall for that lame ol trick!"

 

"Seriously how stun do you think I am?!!"

 "You better get your PR people to come up with something
more brilliant than an apple laced with bull-shit."

"But hey, Queen D, I'll humour you for a while yet

I'll  pretend to be asleep and lay in a glass coffin for a few more years yet.

 

But come 2015, you just know a Prince will come along and you will be booted from OUR Kingdom."

 

Queen D knew she was in trouble.

 

But she kept dancing in her hot shoes until she fell dead in her tracks on October 13, 2015.

 

True story.

Not a tall tale.

 

Definitedly, not a  snow job.
