Standing in front of the flag

Judging from this footage, the Liberals have taken the important step of acquiring a large Canadian flag to use as a backdrop to Mr. Ignatieff. This, obviously, to counter Stephen Harper’s very large flag.

The onus is now obviously on the NDP to sew together an even larger Canadian flag. And then to convert that flag into a hot-air balloon that Jack Layton can tour the country campaigning in.
