A Humourous Look at Canadian Politics

Terry Fallis has written a humourous but thought provoking book about Canadian politics. I loved it and recommend it. Here's the comment I put on his Blog. ------------------------------------------------"Amongst the usual crop of books I receive at Christmas Terry, was your book, The Best Laid Plans. I must admit that it went to the bottom of my reading list giving way to several much - hyped publications by better known authors. I just finished it this past week and I am recommending it to my friends and family. I read much of your book while waiting in hospital waiting rooms where my belly laughs were deemed inappropriate by my wife who sat beside me. Earlier in the year I lamented the fact that we Canadians don’t have a Barack Obama. Now I’m sorry we don’t have an Angus McLintock. Beyond the good fun I had reading The Best Laid Plans, I appreciated the insights it gave me into the workings of our parliamentary system. I couldn't’t resist placing some of the current players on the hill in the skin of your fictional characters. The story could have come out of today’s news. Finally, I noted many familiar names in your acknowledgments including our former much admired MP, Paddy Torsney. Well done Terry, I look forward to your next offering. --------------------------FULL DISCLOSURE: - THE HERO OF TERRY'S BOOK IS A LIBERAL BACK-BENCHER--------------AH
