politics, yukon style

if you think american politiks are messed up, the yukon is in another dimension...

• our premier is a CONVICTED heroin dealer.
• Two government MLAs owe the territorial government over $400,000 in unpaid loans. One for a hotel in dawson, the other for a mine operation. one, the minister of social services, peter jenkins refuses to make payments on them. the government refuses to collect from their own minister. minister jenkins has also called into question some immigrants of welfare as being a drain on the system...how many beds for the homeless can your $300,000 buy? can you say CORPORATE WELFARE BUM.
• the former justice minister got in shit last year for releasing from impound, a tow truck owned by one of her "associates" after the tow truck driver was busted for drunk driving while working.
• recently the government proceeded sell a few dozen prime country lots and decided not to tell anyone so their friends could have first crack at building their dream homes in the woods.
• the premier is a CONVICTED heroin dealer, oh i already said that.

It all puts that dui premier and his soft-drug, pot-dealin' boys in BC to shame! not to mention that pussy cat ralph klein. as an aside, his comments last week about how "severely normal " people don't want to hear about the troubles and financial difficulties of "severely disabled" (sic) were disgusting. that man should be shot with a mad cow pie.

is it a western thing? did western canada start as a colonial convict settlement? only the politicians know.
