Polish sausage

Federal Conservative candidate Darrel Reid's past as a professional Christian activist has been reported far and wide. So, given that background, it seems only appropriate Mr. Reid's campaign Website would feature his smiling face plastered next to a pastoral picture of Heaven on Earth. But there's just one little problem. It looks like that photograph wasn't brought to you by Supernatural British Columbia. Instead, Richmond voters may be interested to know the picture is actualy a stock image taken by shutterbug Andrzej Tokarski - who is located in Radom, Poland.

with huge scandals such as this, it is amazing that the Conservatives are doing so well in the polls.

Sorry, Bill, but I'm distinctly put off by the mind of a person hoping to become part of the Canadian government ... but unable to grasp the concept of why he should align himself with part of Canada as his background photo? I mean, what next: The Rose Garden, outside George Dubya's office?

It may not be a huge scandal, Bill, but it's one of those nasty LITTLE scandals that tend to stick in one's craw and be remembered.

No Pie, it's really not. Using a stock photo is perhaps a silly thing to, but it speaks to absolutly nothing at all other than the desperation of the soon-to-be-jobless Liberal hacks who have so much time on their hands (since it seems no one is running their hopeless campaign) that they can wander the internet looking for obscure collections of pixels.

Richmond is a beautiful place. If Mr. Reid likes Poland so much, he should have moved there from Delta instead of Richmond. Stand up for Poland!

I'm sure Reid didn't design his own page, but thats bloody hilarious that you (or someone) tracked down the picture. Kudos!

guess someone should investigate who's eye is represented by the drawing on this page to check whether we can trust what we read here.

A candidate for silliest item ever posted on this site.

Good one, j ... whose eye, indeed?
