Harper's family tree.

Remus Rudd

 

No matter what side of the political fence you're on, THIS is FUNNY and

VERY telling! It just all depends on how you look at the same things.

 

Judy Harper an amateur genealogy researcher in Northern Ontario, was

doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that

Prime Minister Stephen Harper's great-great uncle, Remus Rudd, was

hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Winnipeg in 1889. Both

Judy and Stephen Harper share this common ancestor.

 

The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows at

the Manitoba Provincial Jail.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this

inscription:

 

'Remus Rudd horse thief, sent to Stony Mountain Jail 1885, escaped

1887, robbed the CP AND CN trains six times.

 

Caught by Mounted Police Force, convicted and hanged in 1889.'

 

So Judy recently e-mailed Prime Minister Harper for information about

their great-great uncle, Remus Rudd.

 

Believe it or not, Harper's staff sent back the following biographical

sketch for her genealogy research:

 

"Remus Rudd was famous in Ontario during the mid to late 1800s. His

business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian

assets and intimate dealings with the CP and CN Railways..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government

service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroads.

 

In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the Mounted

Police Force. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic

function held in his honour when the platform upon which he was standing

collapsed."

 

NOW That's how it's done, Folks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now that's a real POLITICAL SPIN!

 

 

This story has circulated using Al Gore, the Australian PM and a few members of congress.

Bruce you know how to start my day after I see last night, he "our leader" giving away 220 Million that we don't have just to increase our deficit and in the same breath making the knife in the back car free trade deal.

As they say, the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree.

 

I have to get rid of the news paper, TV, PC, and stick my head down the fish hole so I may live a little longer.

Now to find my nerve pills.
