Today, the BC Sex Party, and you thought our having a marijuana party was bad (Good luck Mark Emery), are organizing a unique form of political campaign for the upcoming election.

They are holding a live stage play of people having sex in a theatre where an audience of more than 125 people are specially invited. Vancouver police WILL be on standby and I assume dragging people out and pressing charges as always.

But at least OUR parties know how to hold a political campaign! Marc Emery's Marijuana Party had a 'public smoke-in' (now an annual event that police attend but don't arrest anyone unless causing a disturbance), in the downtown Vancouver core just a few weeks ago and now the sex party is holding a pulbic sex show in a local theater.

And there I was saying entertainment in Vancouver was dead!

Other parties just don't know how to....party, that's all.

Perhaps I'll start the cunnilingus party next year. That would be a fun rally, epsecially if organized to be on the same day as the BC. Beer Drinking party and the BC Rock'n Roll party.

Hey, it could happen, this is Canada!

Political parties in Japan are boring (But there are some right wing fanatics that drive big black trucks playing WWII war songs!)

Why would anyone here actually take them seriously?

It's just an opportunity for minority groups to voice an opinion and push the legal boudaries under the guise of a political campaign.

Everyone knows Liberals will win the vote, even thoug there is a greater number of pro NDP'ers now than Liberal supporters, but they understand the NDP won't win so the Liberals will take the vote from them.

A poll today showed an outstanding number of people FOR a change of government, with a huge offset toward the NDP side. But when asked who will win the election, the Liberals take the cake by a long shot.

We can change the representatives while holding the existing party though.

Too bad Bush wasn't fired for his antics of destroying his country's people, economy and global relations/alliances.

After seeing Clinton get ousted for his BS, I was stunned to see Bush get away with the fear tactic BS, and then get RE-elected! Gotta like THAT one!

I thought Americans would have lynched the guy, not supported him. But I suppose marital affairs are much more important than foreign affairs.

Some people do .... especially here in Australia ... although they forget that if the Party is not elected their "vote preferences" are re-allocated to one of the major party's.

Not sure if the same happens in Canada.

Just when you thought you heard it all, Oz comes up with another deserving of something other than a coffee mug.

When you make off handed comments, even tongue-in-cheek, you REALLY need to explain what you are referring to. :)

I'm from the States with the normal excessive amount of ignorance, but my wife is from Quebec. There the political divisions are so strong, that every 10 years or so, they threaten to tear the country apart.

Also, every once in a while, the native people will block a main highway or take over a building because the government trods upon there ancestoral rights to sell tax-free cigarettes.

Since so much of her family is still there, it actually hurts her to see these things. At least out west some folks can see the lighter side of having political freedom.

BTW, if Quebec goes, I think the Maritimes should become states number 51-53. If they didn't, they would be 1000 miles from the rest of their country. (Quebec can keep Newfoundland.)

Those damned french canadians have been threatening secession for 100 years. It's never gonna happen because they are like all the other french in the world; they're full of $hit and they have no balls :) The rest of Canada just puts up with them because they are too polite to tell them to shove it up their a$$e$.
