In case anyone is wondering what Original Gentleman Scott Payne is doing, he’s running for the NDP nomination in Calgary Centre for an upcoming federal by-election.
I’m sure we all wish him the best.
The hippy.

And you thought blogging never leads anyone anywhere. Best of luck, Mr. Payne. Turnout is usually pretty low in a by-election, isn’t it — if the GOTV efforts are successful, that could mean that one place an Ordinary can go is Parliament.
There are some very endearing pictures of Scott’s family on his campaign website. Since the most policy I can figure out from the facebook page is that Scott really really doesn’t like the Tories, I’ll make an unqualified endorsement based on my affinity from this blog and and seeing pictures of Scott’s absolutely adorable wife, baby and dog.Report
