Description

Fictional political satire, written in the form of tongue-in-cheek banter in a small-town prairie saloon. The result is a refreshing antidote to political correctness, sloppy thinking and lazy journalism.

Synopsis: The Ranchmen’s saloon in the Alberta hamlet of Manyberries, is home to some of the shrewdest political discussion in Canada.
