I've been reading about Sir Mackenzie Bowell, one of the less notable PMs that served in Sir John A's wake. It makes note of the fact that he, along with another PM, were members of the Senate as Prime Minister.
My question is: Who would lead in the House of Commons in this case?
-John Hubert Turner
John Hubert Turner is the former Governor of British Columbia, and has helped lead the British Columbian Liberal Party. Turner won an upset victory at the 1901 Liberal Convention, and shocked many establishment politicians in the party.
Turner was a prominent figure in President Wilfrid Laurier's propaganda effort to increase immigration into Canada. The program largely worked, and British Columbia has seen an extremely large boom in its population, and so have the prairie states. Turner has been one of the most vocal advocates for Free Trade, and has attempted to spread the word wherever he can. He resigned as governor in 1898, and ran for the US Senate soon afterwards, easily winning his seat in the 1899 Senate elections. Turner when he was governor, was known for his strong stance against corruption and was successful in rooting out corruption where ever he could. He has broken from President Laurier on one key issue; the White Canada Policy, which he has called: "a gross, and hideous misstep by the Canadian Government which must be repealed immediately". He is the only candidate who has endorsed some kind of civil rights.
In an attempt to steal votes from the National Party, George W. Ross, a prohibitionist Liberal has been chosen as Turner's running mate.
-William Pugsley
The Conservative party has died. Their absolutely disastrous showings in the last few elections have shown Canada that the party can not survive. Major Conservative Party leaders like Charles Tupper, Mackenzie Bowell, and Robert Borden have come up with a radical idea: merge with the Prohibition party. The Conservatives have promised that if elected, they would institute national prohibition. Besides Prohibition, their other polices are extremely unclear.
William Pugsley was nominated by the new National Party in hopes of uniting it. He is a former representative, and is the current Governor of New Brunswick. As governor, he instituted prohibition and has seen a dropping of crime in the state. Besides prohibition, he has no real strong views. He moderately support Tariffs and new Infrastructure, but not nearly enough to satisfy hardcore Conservatives.

... keep reading on reddit β‘I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Bonjour, y'all! Inspired by somebody who did all the American President's children, I have compiled a list for all my fellow Canucks. Took me way too long, and I am working on one for American Secretaries of State (including acting) and Tresury Secretaries as I also am fascinated by American history.

They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
BamBOO!
Theyβre on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
I won't be doing that today!
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
