Uneducated electorate

[c9]

You know what's unfortunate? The 31,990,000 Canadians (roughly) who won't bother to read the NDP's 2006 platform.

(it's also unfortunate that about 31,980,000 Canadians will also ignore the other parties' platforms.)

It wasn't very smart. I wonder if it was HQ or just the locals that thought of it.
