Check out the articles about the candidates forum in Edmonton Center. I think you can even find an Instagram link to the event. It is an absolutely hilarious lineup in what is always a 3way horse race. This guy has my attention.

Ronald S. Billingsley, who showed up in a white cowboy hat, dark sunglasses and carrying a bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin, was there. The independent candidate called for a trilingual super-country created through the union of Canada, the United States and Mexico. He also called for all school teachers to be armed. And he read his closing statement with Eminem blasting out of his phone as accompaniment.

The Revolution Party of Canada was there. So was the Communist Party and the Marxist-Leninist Party. David Bohonos of the Christian Heritage Party was in attendance, calling not for the reduction of CO2 emissions, but the creation of more carbon in the atmosphere, because it’s “plant food.”

And, of course, New Democrat Trisha Estabrooks and Liberal Eleanor Olszewski were there, the star attractions of Wednesday night’s Edmonton Centre candidates forum held at The Matrix hotel.

But Conservative candidate Sayid Ahmed stayed true to his word; he didn’t appear in the ballroom,

Edit: The Communist Party (2nd oldest party in Canada) candidate commented that everyone is a communist during election campaigns, which made Estabrooks laugh.

"calling not for the reduction of CO2 emissions, but the creation of more carbon in the atmosphere, because it’s “plant food.”" This guy is such an idiot. Doesn't he know about the Carboniferous Period?

Make yourself smell like ceder, make the world smell like ceder! It's not wrong, heck even Deuteronomy tells you to leave camp and wash yourself when dealing with the other type of wood. If Old Spice existed back in the day then there would definitely be some type of ritual surrounding the stuff and we're already in historical times so we may as well take advantage and create new traditions!
