So it seems that his recent move to the head of the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation plus the plum Party Planning gig he snagged wasn’t enough for Barry Penner. BC’s Man Who Can Do Anything has picked up another hat to stick on top of his perfectly-coiffed head: Barry Penner is now British Columbia’s 32nd Attorney General, the man in charge of Justice in our fair province.  I don’t really follow the non-Barry Penner news, so I’m not totally sure what happened to the last guy… I’m going to say eaten by a shark.

Now, Barry’s staying on as the Minister of Aboriginal R&R (because he’s so good at it, naturally), and how he’s going to split his time remains to be seen. I suspect it’ll be something like Relate and Reconcile by day and kick criminal keister by night. Cape optional. For either.

Barry Penner: The Swift Hand of Justice… Yeah, that sounds awesome.

I am referring, of course, to his  appointment as a member of the committee for the Liberal convention and leadership vote. Barry Penner, along with some other people, is now responsible for planning and organising the event where El Gordo’s successor (feline or not yet to be determined) is chosen.

It sounds like Barry Penner has a few long nights of folding napkins and preparing hors d’oeuvres ahead of him, but first he has to book a band and decide on a theme…

Man, it’s looking to be a heck of a party!

Barry Penner doesn’t like to show off his supernatural abilities too often, but sometimes he just can’t resist… after all, how often do you get a chance to demonstrate that you are able to leap over moderate streams in a single bound?

Also note the reflective vest and hard hat. Even when showboating, safety is first.

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.”

- Barry Penner (Vancouver Sun)

Look out, Victoria. Ranger’s coming.
