He makes a deal with a crusty old Scot, Angus McLintock—an engineering professor who will do anything, \u003ci\u003eanything,\u003c\/i\u003e to avoid teaching English to engineers—to let his name stand in the election. No need to campaign, certain to lose, and so on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen a great scandal blows away his opponent, and to their horror, Angus is elected. He decides to see what good an honest M.P. who doesn’t care about being re-elected can do in Parliament. The results are hilarious—and with chess, a hovercraft, and the love of a good woman thrown in, this very funny book has something for everyone.","brand":"Terry Fallis (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":45242718486582,"sku":"9780771047589","price":21.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/2026\/9110\/files\/the-best-laid-plans-5046861.jpg?v=1775396407","url":"https:\/\/shopsaturdaymorning.ca\/products\/9780771047589","provider":"Saturday Morning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
