We asked our @studentcouncil panel what household chore did they suspect each leader was asked to do REPEATEDLY?
Harper: Do his own dirty laundry.
May: Clean out the garburator.
Layton: Paint the house red.
Ignatieff: Apply new eye lashes after all the eye fluttering.
- April Smith
Harper: Sort the recycling.
May: Forced to chop the firewood.
Layton: Could never remember to change the oil in his car.
Ignatieff: Always needed to be reminded to unpack.
- Chris Doyle
Harper: I imagine his wife always has to ask him to sweep the floor. He eventually does, but he always just sweeps the mess under the rug.
Ignatieff: Take out the trash.
Layton: Laundry.
May: I suspect she’s a total neat freak.
- Megan Forsyth
Ignatieff: Dishes. He has lived the life of a writer and a scholar. Dealing with his culinary detritus would be below a man of such intellectual depth.
Layton: Laundry. Comfortable airing Ottawa’s dirty laundry, but not his own.
Harper: I’m pretty sure you can program a robot to do anything you want.
May: Too easy. Taking out the trash. Unless she secretly relishes it, like shouting in the library after it’s closed.
- Paul Bucci Jr.
The same answer for Ignatieff, Layton, and Duceppe: Take out the trash. On March 25, 2011, they finally did.
- Adrian Le
Harper: Getting the oil changed.
Layton: Sort out his moustache combs.
May: Switch the laundry into the dryer.
Ignatieff: Clean the rifle.
- Maddie Millward
Harper: Turning off all electronic devices when you leave the room. Harper has done absolutely nothing to address the environmental concerns of Canada. He has done little to none other than to implement a carbon tax that really only goes to supplement corporate tax cuts. As a child, he must have found it extremely difficult to remember to turn off all electronics to save energy.
Ignatieff: Take out the garbage.Ignatieff has a lot of baggage. He is continuously asked and continuously avoids questions about how he can leave Canada for so long, and then expect to be Prime Minister? By not having the ability to dismiss or rationalize the trash talk around his name, he probably would have difficulty taking the trash out of the house.
May: Picking up the dog’s poop. Elizabeth May would retort and say something along the lines of how the family should respect ecological and biological aspects of life and let the stool fertilize the lawn.
Layton: He did just recover from cancer and had a hip operation, so he might, and probably should, not do chores no matter how many times you ask!
