"Evolution is a myth, the earth is flat, your great-uncle roamed with dinosaurs. "
"Oh, I know, I know. Really stupid statements"
"Wrong. It's the new Canadian standardized intelligence test and those are the "right" answers."
"To what questions? What are the three stupidest statements?"
"No. Too many people were worried that the head of our treasury only has a high school education, so clearly we must bring this country down to that level. Besides, fewer brain cells means fewer questions and you know how much Herr Harper hates questions"
"But if we don't ask questions, how will we know what's going on?"
"That's the point. You know how much Herr Harper hates for us to know what's going on."
"Do I have to go to school tomorrow?"
"No. Not much sense in that. Might fill your head with too many ideas and we all know how much Herr Harper hates ideas."
"Did you read this dad: "Census change latest move in PM’s dumbing down of Canada"?
"Shhhh. Don't let them know you can read."
"I know, I know. Herr Harper hates it when we can read."
"Now you've got the idea, son. You'll do just fine in this new Canada."
UPDATE:
Harper's justification for turning us into a country of idiots was fabricated. No one complained about the census. Harper lied? Would never happen.
