Okay so that’s my fantasy event. The real event is at The Abbey, with the beeeautiful Belle Plaine and all your favorite NDP  MPs, who are in town for the NDP’s annual caucus retreat. Charlie Angus, Timmins Ontario MP and former front man for the Grievious Angels will be there to play a few tunes, and if the party’s good — and how can it not be — Jack Layton may come too!

This event is sponsored by my future MP, Palliser NDP candidate Noah Evanchuk and is being held as a fundraiser in support of striking UFCW workers from XL Meat Packers (on second thought, maybe a cuddle party wouldn’t be such a great idea.) Tonight, The Abbey, 2124 Albert Street 7:30 – 11:30. Be there or be square.
