Prime Minister

Start date: January 24, 2006

______________________________

Canada, established in 1867, is a country dedicated to bringing world-class solutions that meet the changing needs of Canadians today, with tomorrow in mind. With a population of more than 30,000,000 strong, a diverse geographical make-up of communities stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Arctic, two official languages, historical conflicts that continue to erupt and divide especially during election time, Canada is looking for a leader extraordinaire to take the reins and inspire the nation. Destiny is calling!

The ideal candidate is a visionary with a gift of inspiring others through exceptional interpersonal skills, and the ability to quickly identify problems and to execute strategic direction by building solid partnerships. You will lead by example that will gain you credibility and trust both inside and outside the country, thereby setting high ethical standards for accomplishment and trust. Combining financial expertise, a history of working real jobs with real people outside the bureaucratic political fantasy world, you will have the opportunity to heal this Country's reputation while re-establishing the pride and committment most stakeholders are wanting to feel again.

Can you get things done and deliver on time? Can you actively work to improve yourself, stay grounded and to know your own strengths and weaknesses? Can you accept risk and take on difficult assignments? Do you have good table manners? Do you chew with you mouth closed? Do you have the emotional strength to stand up when under fire? Do you have a good sense of humour; the ability to see the absurdity in life? Can you colour between the lines, but also think outside of the box?

Are you able to focus on the end product, and yet enjoy the process of creating? Do you mind picnics, Bar BQ's, sleigh rides, hockey rinks, frisbee and football throwing, and babies? Are you cognizant of what a good photo opp is and that you will avoid all cheese cloth dew rags, cowboy outfits, jet skiis, and karoke sing songs? Is reality a concept you understand? Do you know understand the fine line between trustworthy dependable staff and idolatry?


Will you hold yourself and others accountable? Can you handle stress without breaking out in hives? Do you believe that all sincerity is bullshit?

Now is your chance to make a lasting impact!


If you are able to answer yes to these questions, and are still interested..........walk don't run to the nearest media outlet or internet blog site and announce your intentions. Time's a wastin'.......

Previous and present applicants need not apply again. Your qualifications do not meet our standards, though if another candidate doesn't appear in time, one of you will take on the role of "Acting PM" until a suitable candidate can be found.


"Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better." Harry Truman
