A Jack-rabbit start towards a federal election is now evident. We KNOW there's an election coming in Canada, most likely a spring election too, when politicians are seen out buying influence.
Jack Layton, the leader of the federal New Democratic Party was seen helping Chinese Canadians celebrate their New Year, which coincidentally happens to be the 'Year of the Rabbit." --the Jack Rabbit, that is.
We do not know if this latest effort will help Jack and his New Democrats or not, as the signals are just a bit confusing;
In Toronto's Chinatown, Jack was handing out chocolate dollars, -- which one must admit is a Conservative sum; Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be envious at Jack's ingenuity and careful control of his budget:
The loot being handed out is stashed in a Red envelope, which is Liberal, and Michael Ignatieff will undoubtedly wish he had thought of it first;
Jack handed out one to every pedestrian pushing a stroller and every businessman on the Bloc while he was at it, just to be safe.
My pointed question must be, " Now where's MY chocolate dollar?" I love chocolate.
Everyone should get a chocolate dollar, Chinese or not, that would be the Democratic way. Canadian politics at it's best-- sweet promises.
Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!
