Alex Trebek returns home for 'Canada's Next Great Prime Minister'

When I first caught wind of this I was quite shocked, as a Television show, it's a great idea.....it's also not a new idea. I have a young family member who won a debate for the exact same concept a few years back and it was also a $50,000 prize.

Bragging gor my cousin Deirdra but still....it is a great thing to do as it get's youth involved in politics and how things "really" work. Especially with the world the way it is economically, this generation has a lot to do to fix this and make sure we don't ever have another moron for a leader.

Our present P.M and past P.M. weren't all bad, they weren't George "The World's Biggest Jerk-off" Bush. Canadians have a better grip on things financially.

We understand how to save, we understand that if we can't afford food...we don't buy booze and/or cigarettes....we understand how to pay our bills.

In this order:

Mortgage / Rent
Utilities
Food
Vehicle
Insurance
Gas
15 percent in savings account
Take care of the kids extra's, i.e future education.
Then treat yourslef

No Canadian blames the government for losing their homes or jobs, well "some" might, but hey, those are the loser's of our society.

The idiot's who don't live within their means, the fools who spend $70,000 grand a year and only make $50,000 (but their credit is good...right)

I am getting off topic here. I am so fed up with people crying about the economy. Sorry to be blunt folks but this has been in process since a certain Texas door knob learned the word veto.

More importantly if these whiners new how to save money and plan ahead they wouldn't be in the situation. Don't argue that either.

I personaly know a family of 4 who's combined income is $31,000.00

Home (worth $160,000) paid.
Vehicles - 2 both paid.
Furniture and Appliances - paid.

Ages -

Mike - 32
Kathy - 29
Tyler - 5
Heather - 2

If this young family accomplished that in a few years on that little money, I only have one question for the whiners out there.

Do you know how to save......or just drink?

Right now a few of you are really insulted by reading this, aren't you?

Good, remember that sting tonight when you open your pretty empty fridge for that cold one.

Oh yeah, as for Alex Trebek...welcome home. Can't wait to see the show.

I love this quote from Alex:

"I learned a long time ago (from) a producer friend of mine, he says: 'Alex, one of the lessons you've got to learn in show business is never turn down work. It's not a good idea because you don't know if the invitations will keep coming,"' Trebek said recently over the line from his Studio City, Calif., home.

That's right Alex....never turn down work.....a True Canadian.
