A Concise year-end Wrap-Up Cartoon Style!

[Burnaby49]

By my favorite editorial cartoonist, our own Canadian Gary Clement. While it covers world events some Coles notes for the non-Canadian readers:

B is for Boxing - Justin Trudeau is the son of our ex Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Justin is an elected member of the House of Parliament and is running for leadership of the liberal party against Marc Garneau, a Canadian astronaut. Justin beat a guy called Brazeau in a celebrity boxing match earlier this year.

O is for Oda - Bev Oda was a government minister in a very minor portfolio who was fired for grossly misusing her expense accounts. The final straw was a $16 glass of orange juice.

R is for Robocall - A political scandal from the last federal election where robocalls were made to areas considered to support the liberal party giving false data on the location of polling stations.

Coles Notes: the Canadian counterpart to Cliff's Notes.

Coles Notes: the Canadian counterpart to Cliff's Notes.

Actually Cliffs Notes is the American counterpart to Coles Notes since Coles/Cliff's originated in Canada. The Coles bookstore in Toronto started publishing Coles Notes in 1948. In 1958 the Cole brothers, who owned the bookstore, sold the American rights to Cliff Hillegass who published the American version under his own name. So you can blame us for generations of lazy students who took the easy route offered by a pair of Canadians.
