I would ask why we’re not doing this, but I already know the answer. If someone does something that makes sense before we do it, we can’t do it too because we are World Leaders, not World Followers. *sigh*

This is what happens when you fuck with your graphic designers.

Humorous Juxtaposition of the Day: A photo placement gaffe involving the leader of Alberta’s conservative Wildrose Party left campaign coordinators searching for someone to throw under the bus.

The party’s new campaign bus, unveiled yesterday in Edmonton, featured a photo of party leader Danielle Smith awkwardly placed just above the wheels.

Wildrose candidate Shannon Stubbs called the placement “an oversight,” and Smith herself took to Twitter to acknowledge to need for “a couple of changes” to the bus’s facade.

“Albertans are going to want to talk about the challenges of the province, rather than pictures on the side of a campaign bus,” said Stubbs. Can’t Albertans talk about both?

Rivals Justin Trudeau and Senator Patrick Brazeau facing off in charity boxing bout
Liberal MP Justin Trudeau and Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau have sparred on Twitter, but on March 31, the two will fight for real in the ring.

The boxing match is part of Fight for the Cure, an annual gala featuring matches between “white-collar” Ottawans such as CTV anchor Terry Marcotte and lobbyist Walter Robinson, who fought last year. All proceeds go toward increasing “survivorship” among cancer patients in the Ottawa region.

Mr. Trudeau received training as a boxer in his youth, although he has never employed his skills in the ring. “He really wanted to see if he could compete properly,” said Rob Imbeault, one of the event organizers.
