WINNER OF CBC CANADA READS WINNER OF THE STEPHEN LEACOCK MEDAL FOR HUMOUR Here's the set up: A burnt-out politcal aide quits just before an election--but is forced to run a hopeless campaign on the way out. He makes a deal with a crusty old Scot, Angus McLintock--an engineering professor who will do anything, anything, to avoid teaching English to engineers--to let his name stand in the election. No need to campaign, certain to lose, and so on. Then a great scandal blows away his opponent, and to their horror, Angus is elected. He decides to see what good an honest M.P. who doesn't care about being re-elected can do in Parliament. The results are hilarious--and with chess, a hovercraft, and the love of a good woman thrown in, this very funny book has something for everyone.

This is a satirical look at political life in Ottawa. It was very funny. It's refreshing to see how two people who weren't even interested in being a part of the political machine, rose to the challenge. Here's a funny quote: "You are the lab rat in what could be a classic experiment in Canadian democracy...Perhaps for the first time in Canadian history the voters have elected a Member of Parliament whose singular commitment is to the public interest, not his own, and the political consequences be damned. You cannot be bought, you have no desire for re-election, you have no interest in higher office, and you don't care what people think of you. You actually do what you say. You are the mirror opposite of what Canadians have come to expect of politicians. You are the anti-politician. In fact, my rudimentary understanding of physics suggests that if you were to collide head-on with a traditional politician, you might cancel one another out and both disappear in a puff of smoke." Who said Canadian politics wasn't interesting?
