A Canadian on Politics

[Political Cartoon: Osama Bin Laden peers through a window in a closed door.  He says “Whoo hoo, anyone in there?”

Inside the room is a large man in a white Elvis costume.  He has a bucket of KFC in one under one arm.  With his free hand, he holds up a finger to his lips in a gesture for silence.  Beside him is a man in a bathrobe.  On the front of it is the label “Hoffa” and in one hand, he holds a chicken drumstick.

The cartoon has a caption at the bottom which says: “Meanwhile back in Pakistan…right next to the former Bin Laden compound”]

[Political Cartoon: In the top centre is the title “The only reckless coalition that threatens Canada”.

Three people stand side by side.   On the left side of the image is an older man with a disinterested expression.  He is slouching with his arm around the shoulder of the person to the right of him.  On his t-shirt is the label: “Apathy”. In the centre is a man in a business suit, he is cross-eyed and has little erratic bubbles haloing his head which can sometimes mean drunkenness.  He has his arm around the person to the right of him.  On the front of his business jacket is: “Out-of-touch Politicians”.  To the right of him is a woman in a sweater and cardigan set.  She is blowing a raspberry at a ballot which she holds in her hand.  Her other arm is looped around the shoulders of the out-of-touch politician.  On her shirt is the label: “Low voter turn-out”.]
