Our stunning realization that Dean Del Mastro was a distant relative of Peter Griffin made us think about how it would be a great way to have fun (and make fun!) if we started a series where we found the long-lost relatives of Canadian MPs. Here’s part one in our new favourite game! (It’s also a great way to learn the names of obscure MPs, because honestly, we’re new to this political blog stuff, we have no clue. Hell we JUST GOT Twitter today, like noobs!)
Plus, sometimes it’s possible to hate a person just from seeing their face, so, that’ll come in handy later for our “Worst MP” contest!
Left: Rob Anders, Calgary West (Cons.) Right: Harold from The Red Green Show
Left: Leon Benoit, Vegreville—Wainwright (Cons.) Right: Beeker
More after the jump!
Left: Jean-Pierre Blackburn, Jonquière—Alma (Cons.) Right: Emperor Palpatine, Lord of the Sith
Left: Lois Brown, Newmarket-Aurora (Cons.) Right: Renee Zellweger, back when she was in "Bridget Jones" mode, not hot Renee Zellweger
Left: Claude DeBellefeuille, Beauharnois-Salaberry (BQ) Right: Tony Clement, Parry Sound-Muskoka (Cons.)
Left: Mark Holland, Ajax-Pickering (Lib.) Right: Butthead
Oh, we’re just getting started, you bet your sweet ass there’ll be more. It’s our new favourite game!
