Who is Jack Layton’s Cutest Roadie?
Jack Layton, with those steely blue eyes, is most often considered the cutest party leader for the 2006 vote. In assessing the cuteness of his assistants, however, the case is not so clear-cut.
In Sault Ste. Marie’s Soo Times Today, the question of cuteness takes a very serious turn, as they’ve dedicated a feature to Layton’s little helpers. There are four of them to choose from – all photographed with permission on a campaign stop. The first guy is the most traditionally cute, the second is a little older with facial hair, the third guy is a physical specimen and the last guy (pictured) is our darkhorse favourite. The voting population of Sault Ste. Marie, who like their NDPers, have chosen the first guy. If, like us, you’re disappointed by the choice of these Northern Ontarians, remember one thing:
“[T]his is Sault Ste. Marie, a place where people are always nice, nice, nice and nobody ever counts faults.” – Soo Times writer David Helwig in a voting preamble.
