And the Walls Came Tumbling Down

History is about to be made. Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) it is not being done here. Rumors are starting to circulate that William Shatner, yes William Shatner (Captain Kirk himself) is eyeing the top spot in Canada's Government, Prime Minister. A few weeks ago he declined the role of Governor General because he thought he would be more effective in the role of Prime Minister. This is one of those rare cases where the sheer beauty of the world we live in gets thrust into reality and thus becomes a better place.

Prime Minister's Log, Supplemental: The mounties... Began ... to rebel against the orders... I gave. Must... Call in the national guard. Red Alert, eh. The Montana ... hunters ... are approaching the border... Can't ... Quite ... Give the order ... for the retreat ... of the mounties and get them oooot, eh.



Price Line Negotiator: Have you ever wanted a discount on your taxes? Are you tired of national healthcare? PRICE LINE NEGOTIATOR: Ask for 10% off your taxes. Most countries charge a fortune for these services. Canada shops the lowest possible rates so you don't have to and passes on the savings to you the people.
On behalf of all of us, I would like to express my sincere hope and desire that this comes to pass. It would become open season for news outlets who need a new filler to focus on now that Bush is gone. Remember that if this comes to pass, you saw it here first... Unless you happened to read this article. That is all.

Prime Minister Shatner? I mean, he does have experience as a cop and lawyer, but I can't get behind that!

I question Captain Kirk's leadership skills. Think of what he had to work with. The Enterprise-A offered more target practice for the Klingons than actual usefulness for the Federation. I mean, c'mon: It was a constitution-class heavy cruiser. Warp Five, really?

In contrast, the Enterprise-D that I served on was a full galaxy-class vessel. We could make scrap metal out of the Enterprise-A on impulse power. Without using any photon torpedoes. Whatever qualifies Kirk to lead Canada, I don't know.

As far as Kirk's negotiation skills, Priceline or otherwise, his key talent seemed to be negotiating carnal relations out of females of varying species. Perhaps he can woo those of the Canadian persuasion, but again, I'm not sure how that qualifies as political experience.

Sadly, you were not born in Canada. Otherwise, PMW would certainly endorse you for the job.
