Pink Elephants! | Montreal Magazine

Don’t worry, I haven’t taken any illegal substances. I’m just breathing the scent of the first election promises, and I’m already high…

Smells like fresh dollars

Big tax cut. Check to be received. Solve the housing crisis.

Family Physicians for Everyone. Home care for the elderly. Teachers in all classes. Daycare spaces.

In 2022, we are still being greeted by candidates for elections.

But there are promises like an artificial paradise. We dream and fly, but unfortunately the “buzz” is ephemeral and waking up is brutal.

The circus begins!

What rabbit will our candidates find coming out of their hats?

How to amaze us with the same sleight of hand, through the ages…

Circle visits, gatherings, dinners of spaghetti or roasting corn, door to door, meetings with the elderly, children’s talk…

From time to time, a discussion of ideas, an exciting announcement. Interspersed with deductible stoning sessions.

elect me! I am the most beautiful, the most beautiful, the most beautiful, the best, the most honest, the truest. Only my party offers you a bright tomorrow. The other is weak, crooked, helpless, forget it!

What’s new in recent years?

The field of social networking is where the battles between the parties also take place. Trolls sneak into the trenches and drip gall. Annoyance…

What does the candidate want?

We watched at the polls on election day in order to draw our cross in the right square.

In a democracy, we use the same old method to get us out of our burrows.

We offer the same power, an intelligent blend of commitments. So, hovering over the cloud of promises, we see pink elephants? Unfortunately no, these are just electoral tags.
