    In a leaked email from the local candidate's campaign team , the Conservatives asked that various ethnic groups in the riding come out in their 'ethnic costumes' so they can stand behind Stephen Harper in a photo-op.

    In response to this patronizing and trite event, we are calling on all 'ethnics' to come out to a counter-rally that will take place outsid...e the Conservative rally. Please come dressed in your traditional 'ethnic costume', be you Chinese, Arab, Portuguese, Italian, South Asian, Irish, Vulcan, Klingon, Zombie or Ewok. Let's show The Conservatives that 'ethnic voters' are not props for photo-ops.

    “There is a kind of amateurish naivety to what the Conservatives are doing,” Oliphant said. “When I read this email from Optiz’s office, it sounded like a costume party. It sounded closer to Halloween than to a federal election. People don’t wear costumes, they wear clothes.”

    Another Doug Ford blunder. Doug's been stumping for this tool in Etobicoke Centre. Hope lots of people show up in burkas so the staffers can't figure out who they are from Facebook.
