\"\"<\/p>\n

At a stop in Regina, a CBC reporter scanned the crowd of a Liberal rally for a possible interview. She decided to speak with an older farmer who was observing the events with some amusement. They spoke about Leader Justin Trudeau and the possibility of him being back in 24 Sussex in a matter of weeks.<\/p>\n

The old gentleman said, \u201cWell, ya know, Trudeau is a \u2018post turtle.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Not comprehending what the old man meant, the reporter asked him what a \u2018post turtle\u2019 was. He said, \u201cWhen you’re driving down a prairie dirt road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a \u2018post turtle.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The farmer saw a puzzled look on the reporter’s face so he continued to explain, \u201cYou know he didn’t get there by himself, he doesn’t belong there, he can’t get anything done while he’s up there, he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s going to do next, and you just want to help the poor bastard get down.\u201d<\/p>\n
