Just because Barry Penner isn’t the Minister of the Environment any more doesn’t mean that he still can’t find the time for the good old Dynamic Nature Shot.  This one is a superb specimen, too. He’s got the Picturesque Environment (never not relevant) , the Running Water, and the Dynamic Knee Up On Something Dynamically. He’s not pointing at anything this time around, but he has added a new element to the mix: an Aboriginal person to Relate to and Reconcile with.

I think it works.

Barry Penner’s ongoing feud with his cat Ranger has taken an interesting turn.  While Barry and this animal have had their disagreements in the past, it appears that Barry Penner may have finally found a use for his flammable feline. It seems a Facebook crowd is forming to do as Facebook crowds do and determine the next leader of the BC Liberal party.  Their chosen candidate? None other than Barry’s very own kitty companion, Ranger. Of course, this makes perfect sense. You get Barry Penner’s cat elected to the top of the BC Liberal totem pole, and you naturally get all the wisdom and experience of the world’s best Former Minister of the Environment And Current Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, but keep Barry Penner free to be his usual Environment-Ministering and Aboriginal-Reconciliationing self. The best of both worlds, I’d say.

Clearly, this is being masterminded by Barry “the puppetmaster” Penner, in a bid to install a new premier that he alone controls with his secret stash of organic catnip and dolphin-friendly tuna fish. It may be a bit of a modification to his master plan, but a well-thought out one, worthy of any Bond villain. What does Barry Penner have to say about this?

“He’s clawing his way to the top.”

Look out, Victoria. Ranger’s coming.

Once again, Barry Penner is the only one that knows where to look. While the other two guys are gazing off left and right willy-nilly, Barry Penner stares dead straight into the camera.

That’s why he always gets the middle spot.

Barry Penner’s turn to read from the Big Book of Government is always the highlight of cabinet meetings.

Well, next to naptime.

Back in his day, Barry Penner whittled his own school bus out of a block of wood. Not because he had to, though. He just thought it would be fun.
