They are, of course, the New Democratic Party of Canada.
And they are called The Dips coz they always do well in the polls in between elections but when the money is on the line The Dips dip.
In Tuesday's Globe and Mail Laurence Martin, who is very tall, wrote a yawner about the Mulcair Effect. Mulcair is, of course, Thomas Mulcair, the lad that lucked out in a bye bye Stephane Dion election in the Liberal stronghold of Outremont.
Mr. Martin, who may have been sniffing glue when he wrote the piece, says that "The party has expectations of winning the riding of Gatineau, where their candidate, Françoise Boivin, a former Liberal MP, lost narrowly last time out. The Dippers have a good shot in Hull and in a few Liberal-held ridings in Montreal, where they’ve lined up some high-profile candidates they’ll be announcing when the right moment arises."
I have been to Hull and Gat Mr. Martin, lots, like today, on the Plateau and it ain't gonna happen.
Tell you what Mr. Martin, if Ms. Boivin wins Gatineau or anyone else wins Hull, I will wash your car every Wednesday for a year.

ReplyDeleteOuch!
A wannabe political pundit turns "World famous car washer".
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Dan, even if Mr. Martin forgets, I'll remember your big talk. Assuming he thinks you worthy to shine his shoes, you'll get a chance to put your shammy to work.
Why for are you afraid to sign your name?
ReplyDeleteAnd if the Dippers win Hull I will wash yer ride too.
