Politicians should be allowed to tell bad jokes once in awhile
KAMLOOPS — We’ve lost our sense of humour.
I recently made a joke about Prince George in an editorial and received a heated rebuke from a reader. I fully expected to get the same for some jokes about Alberta this week.
I was rather surprised when nothing happened, which I take to mean readers agreed with me that they shouldn’t get off the airplane when they travel through Calgary.
Pity poor Justin Trudeau. He made what he confesses to be a “dumb joke” at one of his town halls, telling a questioner she should refer to “peoplekind,” not “mankind.”
