But it give me a good segue. The Canadian Alliance Party is having a leadership drive, and one of the new candidates is a transvestite. To fully appreciate this, you must understand the the Alliance is the most conservative, reactionary right-wing party in the bunch. (They're also not that bright. Formed from the Reform party, their original name was the Canadian Reform Alliance Party. They kept that for two weeks before they figured out the acronym.)

The real irony is that she/he/whatever actually has some support, and while not the favoured candidate does have some chance.
