Oshawa Man

Yeep! Jim "the homeless are criminals" Flaherty is running for parliament? How didn't I know that?

For those not familiar, Flaherty (or as I call him, neanderthal oshawasis) came upsettingly close to winning the Tory leadership in Ontario when Mike Harris left. He was pro-life, pro-jailing the homeless, and had possibly the worst campaign song ever. Seriously.

I was fortunate enough to attend the 2002 Tory leadership convention, and damn if that wasn't fun. It's the only time (so far) in my life where I got to watch a gaggle of journalists knock someone over while srumming Ernie Eves. Incidentally, they knocked that person over a senior in a wheelchair.

Journalists are so dainty and caring.
