Some humour

When a new pope is selected by the college of cardinals in the Vatican, the ballots are burned resulting in a plume of white smoke to indicate that a new pope is elected.

While in Canada, at the PMO’s office in Langevin block, it is the black smoke of burning documents that signifies not the election of a new Prime Minister but rather the outgoing of the former holder of the office.
