Politicians used to be like this. Joe Clark, Jack Leyton. Diefenbaker and Pierre Trudeau each faced threats, and held themselves with honour through some pretty bleak times. Inspiring men different parties, different politics, but leaders.

HAHAHAHAHA I was *waiting* for someone to catch that.

perhaps replace the word Waiting with the word Hoping and the context might be clearer.

Jean will place a bet on that, 10 - 1 the Horse eats him

So I blinks, I am on chapter 13 of this little thing... and it just hit 60000 words :: scratches head :: That's a lot of chapter per chapter... so, you know... I hope it's good. There is always ONE side character, who stands up and grabs attention. Be it Brody, Firlotte, et al... in this book, Go Bobby Grady the 14 year-old Acting Sheriff from the darkest depths of hell, there's a law and then there's HIS law, ain't no one around these parts messin' with his buddy Sawyer! (I swear I have not been drinking).... (well not nearly enough)

Jack might have an idea of two.

**Chapter 2: The Mutineers' Refuge** The silence in the hayloft wasn't peaceful; it was the heavy, pressurized silence of a bomb that had been armed but hadn't yet detonated. Dust motes danced in the slanted afternoon light, each one a tiny, suspended catastrophe. Elias Sawyer paced the length of the cramped attic, his fine leather boots thudding a frantic, irregular rhythm against the warped floorboards. He had taken off his duster, tossing it onto a crate labelled Oats, but he still

I remember seeing it with my Granny, gosh I was little... Fond memory though. It was probably the first Grown up film I was ever allowed to watch. I remember being fascinated by the politics of it. Wow formative memory, might explain why I like Thrillers.

I remember that film, Walken right?

A little over ten years ago, the Canadian Parliament was attacked by a lone gunman. He shot the Army guard on the tomb of the unknown soldier, and proceeded into the houses of Parliament with a gun. The Members of Parliament barricaded the doors, while the Brave Sargent-at-arms stated 'screw this' grabbed his gun and went and hunted that bastard down. Our Prime Minister at the time? He hid in a closet. It is an image that would ultimately see him cast out of office as the coward he was. Hiding behind brave men and women who defended each other. I was in Ottawa, in the city center meters from the incident trying to reach my staff who were trapped. And I remember hearing about Harper and his... choice to hide. And I was disgusted by it. So I have had a long time to think of what Will Carter would do, under this kind of threat and I hope this makes my views clear.

Silas getting desperate, he knows if Will's vote passes that's it. Will's rule will be absolute and Abernathy's dreams will shatter like glass. he really should have listened to Caleb when Caleb warned him he was underestimating Canadian Patriotism.

West doesn't play nice when it comes to protecting his family and those boys.

I'll admit he was one of the influences. I mean, after all, he is the brains of the operation.

Sorry I am late, but I got the renovated chapter done.... Just don't look under the wall paper.

Chapter Thity WORLD END: T-minus 98 days, 0 hours, and 45 minutes PMO, Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Ontario SETTING: CBC News Special: The Unity Motion (Live Broadcast) TIME: 10:15. Less than two hours before the confidence vote. The screen split into a two-shot, showing Lisa Sternosti, the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff, and Caleb Henderson, the Conservative strategist. The tension in the studio was palpable, a visible counterpoint to the polite professionali

Hey it is Gen Z, who are we to judge

I'm literally not sorry

oh and we all know there's a Brody Ancestor kicking about:

i've been wanting to try something totally new. I've done sci-fi, teen drama, psychological horror, and Political spy Thrillers... heck i've even done Mexican James Bond... i wanted to do a Western, like.... the kind of Western I actually wanted to read as a kid. My dad used to make me read Louis Lamour as a kid to... toughen me up. But I found a secret love for them, not that I would ever admit that to him. I used to gender swap characters as I read to enjoy it properly.... I was 12, sue me...

:: hangs head :: At least it wasn't a day early...

And on a side note, I have been bombarded with Christmas Carols this morning, THANKS Spotify, you evil mechanical scourge on society.
