Guess who’s coming to Cowtown next saturday, to tell Albertans what’s good for them?
About this Event:
The Liberal Party of Canada in Alberta is proud to host Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion and other Liberal parliamentarians and dignitaries at this regional fundraiser. The marquee event of the summer season, come rub elbows and chow down with your fellow Liberal kin.
Children aged 6-12 years may attend for $15, children five and under attend free.
Admission to the Zoo included in cost of event.
Here’s what last year’s event looked like:
Grandinite.com has a standing offer for Mssr. Dion: I’ll become a card-carrying liberal if you’ll eat some prairie oysters with me.
Wiki:
Rocky Mountain oysters is a North American culinary name for edible offal, specifically buffalo, boar or bull testicles. They are usually peeled, coated in flour, pepper and salt, sometimes pounded flat, then deep-fried. This delicacy is most often served as an appetizer.
It is a well-known novelty dish in parts of the American West and the Canadian Prairies where cattle ranching is prevalent.
I hope Mssr. Dion offers to eat a prairie oyster, just to show Albertans that he’s willing to take a dose of something so repulsive, yet so nutritious. Wearing a 10-gallon hat and telling golf jokes does not a Calgarian make. Eating balls, on the other hand, is the ballsiest move there is. It’s time to pony up, cowboy, and put your balls where your mouth is. This would be the single-biggest move at mending fences with the West, because for once, a politician would be able to show the public he’s a man of action, and not mere words.

“To do the right thing will be beneficial for them,” Mr. Dion told The Globe and Mail’s editorial board. “I care about Alberta and Saskatchewan. I know many people who want to do the right thing. Many will know that it will create jobs there - green jobs.”
Come on, Stephane. Do the right thing.
