WoodPile The A Proper Rut

political chicanery which could merit an appropriate response from voters.

By R.H. Wood North Battleford

My article last week ended by observing that failing to follow Yogi Berra’s sage advice when coming to a fork in the road and not making a clear choice in the matter of election interference, Mr. Trudeau was “hung up.” He is now in a proper rut, which is a most appropriate anagram for Rapporteur and a perfect description of his political situation resulting from indecision. Extraction from this slough will require the equivalent t of a Malahat rotateur.

So far, a suitable rapporteur has yet to be found. This individual will be required to be independent (of what), special (in which ways), Canadian (diaspora free), unimpeachable (able to walk on water) and, of course, nonpartisan which is impos- sible as even the offer of such a position will taint instantly and can only be called for and ratified by Mr. Trudeau.

The rapporteur will require staff, financing, office space, security clearance for all involved and a set time frame for conclusion, which will no doubt coincide with a cunningly timed election call. This would surely be archetypical Machiavellian
