Woo Hoo!

I'm not sure if many of you know, however, in Canada, we still have a queen.

Now since our "queen" is located in England, we spend millions of dollars in appointing a representative to the Queen whose called the "Governor General". This Governor General lives in an amazing house, has a huge staff, chefs, drivers, the works basically, for absolutely no reason, except to showcase Canada's contempt for democracy.

Hypothetically, this representative of the queen has major powers. He or she has to approve ALL legislation, he or she appoints the Prime Minister which is particularly important in a minority government, and lastly, he or she is ultimately responsible in calling elections.

Anyways, currently, we're blessed with a particularly spoiled and ruthless Governor General when it comes to spending the public's money. She has a budget of $19million dollars per year, mostly just to maintain a lavish lifestyle. Not only is she designed to show contempt for democracy, she's now designed to show contempt for taxpayer dollars.

Anyways.... I've gone way off track. The "Woo Hoo!" in this post's title is in relation to the opposition party's courage in slashing her budget earlier today.
