Conservative candidate for Guelph has recently used the "internets" to broadcast this latest message. He attempted a blog last year. This year it seems he's going for more depth in his content. If it should become a political liability in the next few days or weeks, he may take it down-- I will oblige and post it in full here:

What is a Conservative?

The Good Lesson

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a good NDP-er, and was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father.

He responded by asking her how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?"

She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA . She is so popular on campus, college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over."

Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your 4.0 GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the Conservative Party".

Just remember folks, this guy is running agains Tom King, celebrated author and storyteller. If this is the best he can do to "outdo the storyteller", I'm sure he is not hinging on his skills to heavily. 

It also seems his webdesigner has innovated, believe it or not. Commented at the top of the story is a quote from someone. In HTML, commenting is a way of inserting content in the code so it is invisible for those who are simply looking at the site. It's usually used to put code notes, so other designers can understand what you are doing with what code. In putting the comment in the story, everytime you copy and paste the attrocious narrative, you are also copying in a quote praising him! Google might well catch this more than a couple of times and boost his profile. Intended or no (I'm going to guess no), this is actually quite cunning. I won't even quote it here, it's nauseating dribble.
