Liberal MP Joe Volpe needs a nanny. All liberals do as I understand it. Fortunately for him, he’s a liberal and is running for the Liberal Party leadership. Unfortunately for us Canadians, a contender for leader of our nation needs a nanny. Fortunately for Volpe, he’s running for leadership of the Liberal Party, which is the party of the nanny state, so should he win, he can advance the nanny state and appoint his own nanny. Unfortunately, there’s even the remotest possibility that that could happen.
Anyway, please help save Joe Volpe from himself. Vote Conservative.
