If you’re a Canadian politician, you should be afraid, very afraid.

Frank Magazine will soon be back… Or so it's rumoured and so we fervently hope.

The last Canadians heard officially from former Frank editor and publisher Michael Bate, back in 2010, was that he'd "morphed into a Canadian composer." Like, of music.

This was disheartening news. I don't care if the guy is Charlie Flippin' Parker, what our country needs is his ability to spin hilarious yarns, not to make music with a steel guitar and a mouth harp or even a battered old anglo-saxophone.
