Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 300 employees and has the following statistics:


> 30 have been accused of spousal abuse
> 9 have been arrested for fraud
> 14 have been accused of writing bad cheques
> 95 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
> 4 have done time for assault
> 55 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
> 12 have been arrested on drug related charges
> 4 have been arrested for shoplifting
> 16 are currently defendants in lawsuits
> 62 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?


...........look below for the answer























It is the 301 MP's in the Canadian Parliament. The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Wow 700

I was gonna say Any local MickyDs

Good point. But you should leave off the "accused of spousal abuse, writing bad checks" part, unless in Canada people are assumed guilty until proven innocent. Perhaps you could post statistics on the final disposition of those cases. Accusations are often meaningless. Anyone of any credability can accuse anyone else of anything.

There was an email circulating not too long ago that stated the same as what 700 posted but it was the US Government. I probably still have the email somewhere..I will look.

I'm inclined to believe it about the US government, but I know nothing about Canada, except it's cold and has towns like possum drop mountain and seal pup bay.

Only "62 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year" I would have guessed much higher in Canada.

Isn't 'Good Politician' an oxymoron?
