The weekend edition of
The Globe and Mail, our national newspaper, had a humorous article about the un-kinkiness of Canadian politicians that I want to share with you.
The journalist accused Canadians of continuing "to produce the world's most boring sex scandals." She went on to elaborate about the recent missteps of a Conservative MP, who sent emails to a married reporter, the contents of which were "so soppy they could only have been written in the land that wickedness forgot."
She asserts that Canadian politicians are boring, and asks, "Would it be to much to ask for our imbroglios to include a paddle or two?" then goes on to describe the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was photographed with a "whip-happy call girl" named Mistress Pain.
Even the Americans fared better in their political scandals. There was the senator "whose arrest in an airport bathroom introduced the phrase 'wide stance' into general use" as a signal for illicit sex. Then there was the congressman who "tweeted photos of his underwear-clad privates to an acquaintance - as one does - then claimed that his phone had been hacked."
But the worst a Canadian MP could be accused of was involvement with "three busty hookers" as they sat around a dinner table, talking. The article concludes with a firm admonishment: "Really, Canada, if you want to be taken seriously, you're going to have to crack the whip."
The picture above, from The Globe and Mail, is of Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada's first prime minister and a man who liked a good time.
