Hello-

 

Below is a list compiled by various folks in the CUPE office. Enjoy!

Top ten reasons why you know you live in Gordon Campbell's Heartland

    

1. The local elementary school is closing and being converted to a
retail liquor outlet.

2. When you send your kids to school on Monday mornings, you pack their
lunch and a suitcase. The nearest school is so far away that they can
only come home on weekends.

3. You are an avid collector of Bermudian stamps, since your monthly
electric statement comes from there.

4. You are taking your vacation at home this year because you can't get
out. The government closed the ferry and the railway, and the highway is
falling apart.

5. Now that the ferry doesn't run anymore the kids are learning how to
swim.

6. Martini's have become the drink of choice at the local pub, since
they come with a 'get out of jail free' card.

7. Your town council is considering asking Bangladesh for foreign aid.

8. Hospital emergency wards have begun to sell popcorn because their
line-ups are longer than line-ups at Cineplex.

9. No one has seen the local MLA for so long that they can't remember
who it is - and the MLA likes it that way!

10. A Hollywood location scout is visiting your community...He is
looking for a ghost town.
