  1. My mind boggles. Stories about our PM. Truthfulness optional.

    I think I need to wash my brain.

    1. Calm down, this is not what you think. It is not to write stories to dupe us, it is to write child level stories of all that is happening in gov’t at a level so that turdo can understand.

      You know, like “See Dick Run. See Dick Fall. Grab Jane.”

      1. You know, like “See Dick Run. See Dick Fall. Grab Jane.” Tell Jane she experienced it differently Give Jane big cheque make Jane sign a NDA.

        1. You missed a step.

          “See Dick run.
          See Dick fall.
          Take Dick’s wallet. …”

          Fixed it for ya!

          1. Y’all do know that Dick and Jane were white supremacist children. The offspring of slaveholding colonialists in the 1950’s … right? You never saw Dick or Jane playing with Kenishaua. She had to use separate toilet facilities … right? All white people are baaaaad mmmkay? Except white liberals who carrrrree about black children (who aren’t aborted).

            Now it is Mohammed and Gurindar. Refugees from some shithole who have come to transform Canada and America into a culture THEY harken from.

          2. who have come to transform Canada and America

            Correction: “who have come vibrantly culturally enrich Canada and America”

        1. Pam was once Pat. Pat identifies as Pam. See Pam’s third leg. Okay, this is getting out of hand.

      4. Frenchie77: “…at a level that so that turdo can understaand”.

        But we already have child like stories. It’s called CBC News.

    3. C_Miner, it’s not the brain wash that’s the problem, it’s putting it through the wringer, that hurts.

  2. What are the qualifications for such a position?
    With the Trudeau government all stories should start with “Once upon a time and a half……”

  3. It’s a habit within large organizations to put up job postings where HR already was told who would be getting the job but the process needed to be followed to give it legitimacy.

    Sometimes an organization will create a nonsense position with the unstated purpose to put someone on the payroll.

    This has the smell and texture of nepotism.

    1. It’s a habit within large organizations to put up job postings where HR already was told who would be getting the job but the process needed to be followed to give it legitimacy.

      Yup. Many years ago, while I was still teaching at Armpit College, I saw a posting for a teaching position that I thought would interest an acquaintance of mine. He had all the necessary qualifications, but, when he inquired about it, he was told that it had already been filled. The advertising was merely done because institutional regulations required it.

      Similarly, when the position for the head of my department needed to be filled, the posting was worded in such a way that only the person who actually got it could qualify. Meanwhile, several other candidates were interviewed and jumped through the hoops, only to be turned down.

      The same thing happened with me when I applied for positions in some other departments.

      Corrupt? Perish the thought!

    2. Its number 55 on the job board. Number 56 is a technical writer starting at $30,000 less per year. See the link further down if you care. But you are correct in that many of the jobs are for people already in Public Service.

      1. Remember, in the Fed public service, you don’t qualify unless you are a minority, defined by the following:
        French
        Dark skinned
        Female
        Mental illness
        Physically disabled
        Recent immigrant
        The more of these qualifications you have, the better candidate you are.

        1. The PMO does not really follow the public service hiring practices, as they kind of work around rules for the rest (surprise?).

          Yes, for the rest of the Public Service, those affirmative (cough) action goals were approved in amendments to the Public Service Employment Act and related Acts in 1993. Plans began in 1990/1, when Mulroney was PM.

          Actually:
          French was first. Many “B” level managerial jobs were magically re-classified to “C” (a hard level to meet unless one grew up speaking French) before that, actually while Mulroney was in power.

          In the aftermath of the 1991 recession, up until 1996, managers (many, white males) were “re-organized out” and/or given optional generous early retirement buyouts by Chrétien and Paul Martin.

          Female, Aboriginal, VISMIN, disabled preferred next in 1993 and still exits.

          Recent immigrants are not especially preferred, but many fall in the Vismin population or may be preferred in a job description.

          I was still possible to fire one of these special folks on probation, as I did in 1992 (a PHD who thought he was there to do his preferred research vs. the job, was a team shirker, and had no concept of time management), but documenting was a pain, but worked. That said, I worked with many very competent “preferred” newish immigrants who were extremely competent. We tested objectively, and the shirker actually had flunked our hiring tests, but my wimpy white boss over-rode our no decision. That boss was later re-organized out.

  4. Is Prinz Dork having trouble going down for his nappy-poo, and Gerald’s Butt decided that a really good bedtime story might make the difference? Those temper tantrums must have been amazing.

  5. “and Team Lead.”

    So there’s already a team of Storytellers and this one is to be hired to lead them? Or there isn’t, the Team Lead is being hired to hire his/her team?

  6. Will crayons and paper be provided for the kiddies? Don’t give Adolf scissors as he may run and hurt himself.

  8. I should apply…
    Stories, I have many true life experiences in surviving up to today.
    Unnecessary military missions that put my life in danger.
    How about working in the prison system and surprise, my first day 7 of my 8 workers are in lock up for 8 days due to a murder on the block which I ad the good fortune to help clean up this bloody mess.
    Or, how with the new Workman Compensation came out and my wife was a victim of having 2 injuries and cut off for not being disabled enough. Much more to this story.
    Or, government safety regulations over the decades made it illegal for me to have a business as a Handyman qualified in all aspects in the building trade. Even have a St. Lawrence College Certificate for Construction/Renovation.
    How about when my common law wife suddenly died, really had a wake-up call to the laws then.
    More…tons That didn’t cover my childhood…

  13. “Once upon a time, there was a magic kingdom where unicorns frolicked and rainbows were always in the sky. The magic kingdom was led by a wise prince, whose socks dazzled all those around him. He was….”

    Oh, who am I kidding? Canada’s Pravda needs someone to produce twaddle to pacify the masses and tell Prinz Dummkopf what he wants to hear.

  14. “Voir Dick courir. Voir Dick tomber. Attrapez Jane …”
    Sign me up.
    (Google translate)

    1. “Le budget s’équilibrera.”
      Huh. They might have something there.
      It sounds plausable in french. Perhaps that explains a lot.

  15. Will that storyteller be required to be in drag and read to children in libraries?

  19. Being the climax of the dynasty that completely bankrupted Canada during the last few years of it’s existence, he required a story teller to tuck him in every night while telling him that they all lived happily ever after.

  23. For 89 – 96K a year you must be a rabid Liberal and speak fluent B.S. in both languages. Groping skills optional but an asset.

  26. At first blush,this is insane,but looking deeper consider the nature of Liberal Assault Style Politicians.
    Pure parasites,they are incapable of producing anything themselves,so any accomplishment requires they hire some hands to perform the work.
    And this bunch can’t even tell a story convincing enough to sell to the 50% below average intelligence voters in the West.
    So of course they need to hire propagandists.
    Same reason they pack the Supreme Court of Canada with activists,who impose those policies which Parliament will never openly pass.

    If you ever saw the CPAC series where they were looking back at the imposition of the GST,you would remember that the Parasites all do this.
    The “success” of the GST was the sales pitch that preceded it.

    So considering the people involved,this hiring is an open admission of incompetence and failure.
    See these Liberals and the NDP are natural allies.
    United in failure and dishonesty.

  28. I understand that Dickens, Shakespeare, Christian-Anderson, Aesop, the Grimms Brothers and a slew of others have already been refused consideration as not being experienced enough. I truly wish the malcontents here at SDA would get a little more creative when trying to subvert the process. How about using some current storytellers names, the like of Mallick, Attwood, Mesley, or Fyfe at least those are recognized within the Liberal circle.

  29. We all ready have a national story teller, he’s called trudop. As evidence of his skill at this job, since he was first elected all he’s done is tell us lies and fairy tales and he’s convinced at least half the population of this country that his drivel is true.

  30. Don’t think for a minute that you will get the job. They’ve already hired someone and the competition is an annoying formality. I used to see the old Alberta Progressive Conservatives advertise government jobs that required grade 8 and paid $300,000 per year. I never did get one of those jobs. I used to use a couple cabinet ministers as references. That never worked for me either. I wasn’t destined for early retirement.

  31. Interesting requirement is a two hundred and fifty word essay about having a superpower and how you would use it. If that is not stretching the credibility of getting a government job, I don’t know what is. I remember writing one of those essays back in the Fifties when I was in grade V, things never change.

    1. Just what in Hades do any of those questions hope to answer about someone’s capabilities?

  32. This is why they take half my wages!

    The people that vote for this are the scum of the earth.

  33. I had visions of Turdo curled in the fetal position sucking his thumb, on a soft mat in the corner of his office, being quietly told bedtime stories about little Bo Peep by his official Storyteller, but then I remembered that that, used to be Sophie’s job description, now replaced by Ms Julie Pay it, the wicked witch in the Governor General’s office. So it probably is a prefilled position for the WE brothers, who have now changed their surname to Grimm! And, Yeah, This is what they are using tax dollars for. We are collectively descending into madness, or perhaps being driven there by liberal idiocy, no matter, it’s a very short journey these days.

    1. I’m also beginning to think “seriously now”, that Sophie HAS been replaced by Julie! Why else would he spend all his time at the cottage. She’s perfect, she’s a witch, and a space cadet, and as noted at the recent throne speech, she is a fib, er, lia, er, storyteller. What a match, the space cadet and the drama queen, riding unicorns around the lake, gathering fairy dust, and singing lullabies.

  34. In the 90’s my starter-wife ran off with a grifter. It didn’t last. I learned recently that he moved from SW US to NW and on Social media (LinkedIn I think) his latest job description is “Story Teller” (which I could have told you the day I met him). He would be perfect for this role.

  36. Can’t believe people don’t get this.

    There are no Senate vacancies yet upwardly mobile Liberal “journalists” are everywhere.

    To be fair, nobody better at Liberal storytelling and believing than a Canadian “journalist”.

  39. Here are three of the questions applicants have to answer as part of the process:

    • If you could only have one superpower, what would it be and what would you use it for?
    • What have you learned about yourself since the beginning of the pandemic that surprised you the most?
    • If you could time travel, where and when would you go, and why?

    Unfrigging believable!

  40. Maybe he can tell stories about Maggie’s days as a groupie dope head and how he thinks Fidel is his Dad. Therapy for the boy with Daddy issues.

    1. “… Maggie’s days as a groupie …”

      Heh. Title:

      Mummy’s Naughty Hedgehog

    2. Maybe we’ll find out that one of his parents is Asian and the other descended from a different Scottish clan, thereby explaining why he is really a Wang-Kerr.

  41. As a French, female, indigenous black (meti) left handed gay transgendered mentally handicapped muslim immigrant in a wheelchair I think I will apply.

    1. H Toad – Funniest comment I’ve seen at SDA this week and most accurate description of identity politics in action.
