Satire Saturday | September 9, 2023

Same rules as last week.

Any comedic content is accepted, not just satire, as long as it relates to Canadian politics. (Moderation will be pretty forgiving on this. If you have an Onion article or something that only marginally relates to Canada, it'll probably stay up.)

So post your Beaverton articles, your political cartoons, funny video clips, whatever, as long as it is funny.

If you are posting a satirical article, you should include "[satire]" at the end of your post title to help minimize confusion.

Rules 1 and 2 still apply! Nothing hateful or calls for violence.

Satire Saturday ends on Sunday morning, so feel free to post your funnies until then.


Note: You can still post legitimate news as well, it doesn't have to be funny.
