I’m so glad that Canadian politics is still provincial enough (no pun intended) that stuff like this doesn’t immediately bring on the Pundit Brigade:

Gerry Nicholls thought he was hallucinating as he kicked back in his seat to take the 35-minute GO train ride to his Oakville home.

About every three seconds, the scrolling electronic sign that usually carries transit updates and advertisements had a very different message that he just could not keep his eyes off.

“Stephen Harper Eats Babies. Stephen Harper Eats Babies. Stephen Harper Eats Babies,” the message kept repeating.

(…)

Asked about his time with Harper at the National Citizens Coalition, Nicholls said: “I worked with Stephen Harper for five years and never once did he in that time eat a baby.”

Perhaps for true bipartisanship, someone should hijack other GO Transit signs. “Jack Layton strangles puppies,” anyone?
