Canada: The Rhinoceros party, The rebirth of the ridiculous
CBC Canada ^ | 8/8/07

For those experiencing a Conrad Black-trial hangover and are tired of dragging legal battles, here's a summer blockbuster that no movie studio would deliver: The Prince of Darkness versus the Queen.

It's certainly a legal battle for the ages.

But it's happening. On Aug. 7, 2007, Satan — nee Brian (Godzilla) Salmi, president of Canada's Rhinoceros party — announced a $50-million lawsuit contesting an election reform law that stripped his party of its registered status in 1993. The suit is filed as Satan v. Her Majesty the Queen.

Rebirth of the Rhinos Brian Salmi, a.k.a. Dark Clown Lord, Satan, or Godzilla, leader of the Rhinoceros party, in Montreal on Aug. 7. Salmi plans to rename the country Nantucket if elected. (Graham Hughes/Canadian Press) Under Satan's leadership, the gratuitously absurd political party that promised, among other things, to repeal the law of gravity, pave Manitoba and move Toronto and Montreal closer together, is trying to horn its way back into the country's political scene.

Satan plans to run under the Rhino banner in a September byelection in Montreal's Outremont riding, making him the first Rhino candidate in 17 years. The party has not fielded a candidate since Bryan Gold's failed bid to win a 1990 byelection in Beauséjour, N.B.

Hey, a RhINO I could get behind! Cue the Monty Python “Silly Party” references.

We have something close to a Rhinoceros Party in D.C. Its membership includes Lindsay Graham and Ted Stevens.

Repeal the law of gravity? Move TO and Montreal closer? Rename the country Nantucket? What the hell?? And who (aside from perhaps the NDP) would want to live in a country under a leader by the name of Satan?

There’s no way that moron can get elected. His chances are worse than Nader’s.

Canada is so far behind us. We’ve had RINO’s for years and they actually win elections!

The rhino party isn’t a serious party, but neither is our GOP.

There fiscal policy was to use Visa to pay off the national debt. Then use Mastercard to pay off Visa and then American Express to pay off Mastercard. Brilliant!!

They also planed to give Canada February off. The entire country.

They never ran a candidate in my riding(that's what we call them up here) but had they I may have voted for them. lol
