    About this ebook

    The Galvanized Anew Party (GAP) has a problem. They're trying to gain in the polls, but their budget is on par with Prime Minister Jean-Claude Krustachien's yearly supply of monogrammed golf balls. The 100th All-Mart store in Canada is opening in Orleans and Krustachien will be there along with All-Mart founder, Max Allmart and U.S. president Theodore Rushmore. The GAP party teams up with other lowly political activist groups and crashes the party, kidnapping the prime minister and president. The drama sends the media into a frenzy. There are lives in danger ... but just look at the polls!

    David Belisle

    Dave Belisle is a Vietnam War draft dodger ... his mother escorting him north of the border at the tender age of 8. He's returned to Calgary -- not as a Stampede side show -- but to transform that Rocky Mountain air into raucous laughter ... give or take a foothill. There's no armistice on anecdotes, no flat tire in satire ... and your busted funny bone IS covered by Canadian health care.
