KINGSTON — With Arthur McDonald’s shocking Nobel prize win, the Prime Minister of Canada was curious as to how he was able to speak with the media at all.
“We have so many programs in place to avoid this,” Prime Minister Harper lamented in a conference call. “With all the funding cuts, the red-tape, and sheer effort our government has expended, someone will lose their job over this.”
McDonald’s work on neutrinos may be celebrated around the world, but here in Canada, Conservatives have been angered by the news.
“We all know about neutrinos,” said Minister of Industry, Science and Technology Ed Holder. “We’ve all seen the wonderful Cusack film 2012. It is a shame our places of higher learning are wasting money on this filth. Our next government will continue the fight against this recklessness.”
In related news, the Conservative government has revoked Alice Munro’s three Governor General’s Awards for Literature for being seen in public while celebrating McDonald’s accomplishments.
