Here In Manitoba

Here in Manitoba there is an election going on. Looks like my NDP is a little behind in the polls but our leader, Wab Kinew, is much more popular than the Conservative fuck we are trying to stop in his tracks. Not a bad position to be in with 2 1/2 weeks remaining before Election Day.

I am a voter contact specialist. In every jurisdiction there are different methods that work best to both identify our voters and sway the undecided. Across Canada, however, there is, with appropriate local adaptations, one method that works every fucking time: I drink steadily all day long, not enough to appear too fucking incoherent before the afternoon but from there on I am on as unsteady ground as the average voter once they have been home for 45 minutes. We then identify with one another surprisingly well.

The rye is good here, as it is elsewhere. I look forward to having a glass or two of the best on September 10.
