The Trainee of the Month Award!

is now officially launched.

This award will go to the Trainee of the Month - as determined by our selection committee - me.

While it's not easy to obtain a nomination, let alone the actual winning of the award, only those members of our government that openly and above all others prove it doesn't matter what you know before being put in charge of something that offers both responsibility, and the chance to spend buckets of your taxpayer cash on whatever seems right at the time.

Like being next in line for the new kid on the till at Burger King, you'll be assured the Trainee will ensure you won't get the right change, the right order, and they're guaranteed to forget to check if the fries have been made in the last week.

The award will be presented to those who have the right connections, appearance, and ability to bag cash for their political party. It reveals that anyone can indeed be put in charge of something far beyond their expertise and capability.

Winners will be sent an official 'Trainee' badge and a proclamation of their achievements, and reasons for obtaining such a distinction.

To start, an honorable mention goes to Alberta's own Jim Prentice, the brainchild of the 'Trainee' award.

Jim is a guy who started out in the Indian Industry, and was put in charge of a $19 billion dollar portfolio shoveling your cash out to every connected corporate welfare case with the right lobbyist working the street.

Indeed - his first action was to butcher the DCM, cowing to lobbyists and insiders first without thought or consideration of what he was actually doing.

Oops!

Thank you Jim. You've made this award come to life.
