Happy Holidays

by Apathy is Boring — December 17, 2010


The A is B staff

[The A is B team]

 

A is B is officially ready to relax this holiday season. Our last day in the office will be December 17th, but we'll be back in full swing on January 10th, 2011.

Here's what some of our staff and interns will be doing to promote democracy during the holiday season:

Émile - Deck the halls with boughs of holly and portraits of Canadian Prime Ministers.

Pete - Organize the neighborhood snowmen (of all genders) into a representative government.

Bernard - Exercise my right to freedom of expression by singing carols with inappropriate lyrics.

Devon - Fill everyone's stocking with info on how to vote in the next election (and drink lots of hot chocolate).

Ilona - While relaxing on the beaches of Mexico, I will ponder what Canada would be like if Edward from Twilight was Prime Minister.

Derrick - Ensure that the elves of the North Pole are given sufficient time off to vote in the North Pole general elections.

Gen - Discuss local politics with friends while sipping Apathinis (the Apathy is Boring signature drink).

Here's wishing everyone a happy holiday season and an apathy-free new year.
