Because even conservatives like to peer over the wall at the rest of the world, nervously pasting on a smile and waving as if they care.
But only if they are wearing easily identifiable costumes. How else can we tell Them from Us.
A Conservative campaign staffer in a Toronto riding waded into hot water Wednesday, sending out an email seeking voters in "national folklore costumes" to appear at a photo-op for an upcoming visit from Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper.
"We, at the Etobicoke Centre riding, are trying to create a photo-op about all the multicultural groups that support Ted Opitz our local Conservative candidate and the Prime Minister," the email signed by Zeljko 'Zed' Zidaric said.
"The opportunity is to have up to 20 people in national folklore costumes which represent their ethnic backgrounds," said the email.
"These people will sit in front row behind the PM — great TV photo op." Zidaric went on to write that the campaign was still "seeking representation from the Arab community" and asked for people willing to participate in "ethnic costume."
Piñatas and burkas for everyone! Throw in Ukrainian ribbon dancers, a May pole, and I'm in. Weeeeeeeeee!
