1233. kicked off the curtain
On the first weekend of July, saying goodbye to the town becomes more lively than when it is celebrated.
A day in advance, a high podium was built, surrounded by flowers. Until the weekend, someone was still arranging flowers. The one who worked was Dad Hickson, who also moved these flowers from his garden.
A gentle middle-aged man was preparing a speech on stage, which was Dick Kaufman, Michelle and Gordon's consultant at Grant Elementary School, and also the host of the mayor's election.
There was one more time in the town election in St. Johns, that is, this host, they were all passed down from generation to generation. The last host was Dick's father, Kaufman, and later when he graduated from college, it was passed on to him.
In addition, Hughes and his guys were busy debugging speakers, so electronic beeps sounded from time to time on the streets.
Flags are waving on both sides of the street, with many flags flying, Canadian flags, Newfoundland provincial flags and propaganda flags for farewell towns. In addition, some propaganda posters are also waving in the wind, with portraits of the five candidates on it.
On several major streets, people were constantly distributing leaflets, which introduced the information of the five mayor candidates and their campaign themes. There is no doubt that the most dazzling one was Winnie.
The political circle of Newfoundland is the most unique in Canada. They themselves don’t know what they are doing. Many places are like Britain because they have always been British before World War II, but many places are like Canada because they returned to Canada after World War II...
The high-level political circles are in chaos, and the lower-level political circles at the town level are naturally not much better. Various town election farces emerge one after another. Dogs are elected as mayors, cats are elected as mayors. What's more, there are dead people who are elected as mayors...
However, saying goodbye to the town is a big town, and the election of mayors is a big event. The townspeople are very clear that the direction of the town needs the guidance of an excellent mayor. In this regard, they are very serious and will choose someone they think is the most suitable as the mayor.
So, although one of the five candidates this time was a dog, everyone understood that this was just used to join in the fun and lively atmosphere, and no one would really vote for the dog.
Yes. One of the candidates for bidding farewell to the town election this time was a dog. Qin Shiou only learned about it until now. This bastard, Xiao Hughes, didn't know where to get a pit bull known as the King of Fighting Dogs a few days ago. It looked very fierce and then used to sign up for the mayor's election.
"What's his?" Qin Shiou waved and called Shaq, "What's wrong with that dog in Xiao Hughes? Fucking, what a serious activity, let him do it! Go, take Huzi and Leopard to get it done, and then Winnie lost a competitor!"
Shaq pointed to the grinning dog on the image and said, "Boss, this is a bit, it's very powerful. Hu Zi and Leopard will probably suffer."
"Then bring Xiong Da again!"
"I can't kill him a bitch!"
The five candidates this time are acting mayor Hani Rambo, who automatically qualifies for the campaign, and three of the four applied to the St. Johns City Council. The other one was designated by the city government.
The city government designated a clerk of a customs office, who was here to make soy sauce. This was Hamre's help to Qin Shiou. He arranged such a soy sauce product to reduce the pressure on Winni's campaign against the public.
The three candidates in the town are Winnie, fisherman and hotel owner Elton Burt and Hughes Jr. Pitbulls.
From the candidate lineup, we can see that Winnie's election is what everyone hopes for. Everyone is helping her. Her competitors are very poor. She has the most arrangements for the election activities, and her assisting guests are the most powerful. If she cannot be elected as the mayor in this way, it would be a real ghost!
Recently, Winnie has even become a regular guest in TV stations and media. The St. Johns Economic News gave her a special interview with the title: The most beautiful mayor in Newfoundland history is about to bring Wang Mian.
Like other elections, the event is scheduled for weekends, with candidates giving speeches and holding press conferences to answer voters’ questions. On Saturday, midnight at twelve o’clock on Saturday, that is, early Sunday morning, voters stay up late to vote, then count the votes, and elect the mayor overnight.
The speech event starts at 1:00 pm. Each candidate has half an hour of speech performance. At 4:00, five candidates sit together to accept questions from voters and experts from various industries sent by the city government. This session will take one hour. After the end, everyone can go home for dinner and discuss the support of the candidates.
In the morning, Winnie was discussing the content of the speech with Auerbach and McCaulian and finalized the manuscript. Qin Shiou went to look at it and saw that there was no place that needed her help, so she went out to stroll.
The five candidates have a temporary room in the hotel in the town. Qin Shiou just walked out and ran into Hughes. The guy was holding a pit bull in his hand, but he was not an adult dog, but just a half-year-old puppy. He was not very fierce and was silly grinning.
Qin Shiou pointed at it and asked, "What's this?"
Xiao Hughes intimidated him and said, "Boy, you'd better be honest. It's called the butcher, and it's our future mayor. After it is elected, I'll let it eat you as a dish!"
"Why did you suddenly remember to raise bits?" Qin Shiou asked curiously. This kind of dog is very fierce and is not allowed to be raised in cities. Of course, the countryside doesn't matter. He also raises brown bears and white wolves.
Hughes said: "What does it mean to suddenly remember? Do you remember last year's skiing? It was the time you pulled the egg."
Qin Shiou said with a dark face: "You don't need to emphasize it, I remember it, just talk about the topic."
"Didn't you let Hu Zi and Leopard bully me? I secretly swore that I would raise a more fierce dog to avenge me in the future! Now, this day is finally here!" Hughes said deliberately gritting his teeth.
Qin Shiou smiled and said contemptuously: "Buddha, you are not revenge, you are delivering vegetables. I brought Xiong Da in the afternoon. It happened to have no breakfast today. You, a dog, is it for a meal!"
The pit bull was stupid but also sensitive. It sensed Qin Shiou's deep malice towards him, so it opened its mouth and yelled at him twice.
Qin Shiou pointed his finger at Hughes and left. He wanted to go back and bring the tigers and leopards.
After dinner in the afternoon, the townspeople came to the town to prepare for the quadrennial mayor election.
The first thing that came to the stage was Hughes, the Pitbull named Butcher, who had the tough temperament of the dog fighting clan, but it probably had never seen such a formation, and was stared at by thousands of people in the audience...
