Rhinoceros Party of Canada

Canadian Politics you gotta love it. We go from the sublime to the absolute ridiculous. The Rhino Party of Canada. Always had the best slogans and victory parties.
The Victory Party was always held the day before the Election. As a Government Employee I was not allowed to get involved in the mainstream political life at the time. So as the Rhino's had their National Office down the street at some tenement building. Went down to party. One of the idea's, I really liked was to dry up the St. Lawrence Seaway by burning logs in the River thus separating us from the United States and making it easier to get cheaper booze.

The Italian Radical Party is fun - they often stand porn stars as their candidates and one policy they had was that the Italian Army should replace its guns with umbrellas..

Mutley- I guess so they can sing"I am Marching in the Rain." and " Rain drops, won't be falling on my Head."

I wonder if you've heard of Screaming Lord Sutch of the Monster Raving Looney Party.

They did actually stand in elections.

The political history is halfway down the page. He started in music too as it happens.

Sadly deceased. A fondly remembered character.

EK-Actually I had heard of him. Thank you for the link.

It is a shame that so many who actually gave Politics a colorful chapter left us so soon.

Compared to the bunch of useless bland, luke warm. I will spew you out of my mouth, Politicians we have now a days. With no character or moral fiber.

Goodness, these ads by Google are real daft. But so is my blabbling content.
