    I found this on Facebook and even if it is only partly true it is a great read.

    You will love this one, I haven't stop laughing yet. For those of you who don't know , cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing over that area. For some reason the cattle will not step on the "guards," probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails. A few months ago, Prime Minister Trudeau, received and was reading a report that there were over 100,000 cattle guards in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba . The ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, so he ordered the Minister of the Agriculture to fire half of the "cattle" guards immediately! Before the Ministers of Agriculture could respond and presumably try to straighten Prime Minister Trudeau out on the matter, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland intervene with a request that...before any "cattle" guards were fired, they be given six months of retraining. 'Times are hard,' said Chrystia Freeland it's only fair to the cattle guards and their families be given six months of retraining! ' And these two people are running our country, Passed on to you without further comment... I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING - - - - OH LORD HELP US!!!!

    That joke has been around and recirculated with the current political leaders names inserted for years and years.....in Canada and USA.

    Shows just how little we really think of the clown that runs our country. I am actually more shocked that it isn't true believe it or not.

    Please note the first couple lines of my post:
    "I found this on Facebook and even if it is only partly true it is a great read.You will love this one, I haven't stop laughing yet"
    This was posted as entertainment not as fact, I knew it was only a joke with a Canadian twist I thought my fellow Canadians would enjoy it.
    the fact that you decided that it was wrong makes me believe you might be that one voter who voted Liberal in Saskatchewan.

    I never said it was wrong, just that it's been around for a while, poking fun at whoever happened to be the leaders at the time........I'm sure we'll see it again with different names many more times in the years to come.

    And.......ummmm, no.
