This week I was again able to catch up with Secnarf, last remaining member of the Rhinoceros Party of Canada and candidate for Prime Minister in the October Federal election. Here is a transcript of the interview:
Francie: Secnarf, what is your policy
regarding
Senate reform?
Secnarf: Well Francie, as you know I've
always
been in favour of an all female elected Senate. I
would call it 'The Hall of the Matriarchs'.
Francie: So the lower chamber would be for
men
exclusively?
Secnarf: It would be for anyone who believes the
good
behaviour of an elected
member of the nation's
parliament includes burping, farting,
scratching
themselves, dragging their knuckles across the
floor,
posturing aggressively and hurling loutish
insults at other members without
listening to a word
anyone else has to say.
Francie:
I see. And upon what would you base this?
Secnarf: It
was the Iroquois way.
Francie: But the Iroquois matriarchs were
able to
control the warriors by
withholding food.
Secnarf: Exactly. That is why the Hall of the
Matriarchs
would have the keys to the House
of
Commons. Nobody would get to the
cafeteria or the
bathroom until some
work was done.
Francie: Two votes for every woman, an elected all
female Senate, a House of Commons
starved into
submission. I like it.
Secnarf: It
is the wave of the future!
Remember
folks,
VOTE SECNARF
VOTE SECNARF
It is
a vote for a politician who looks
like
a Cabinet Minister nobody
remembers
anymore! And that's a
good
thing.
