Catch 22 - a voter powered campaign to defeat the Harper Conservatives

The Catch 22 campaign's goal is to defeat as many vulnerable incumbent Harper Conservatives from getting re-elected or defeating a vulnerable opposition candidate. The campaign aims to do that by focusing on a limited number of ridings.

Gonorrhea Lectim (humour)

The Healthy Canada Institute has issued a warning  about a new virulent strain of this old disease. It's called  Gonorrhea Lectim, pronounced "Gonna 
re-elect 'em." 

The disease is contracted through the high risk-behaviour of putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it when the Stephen Harper 
government was elected, but now realize how destructive this sickness is.

Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug coming on the market called Votemout, pronounced "Vote-em-out". Take the first dose in May 2011 and 
don't engage in such behaviour again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out life as we know it in Canada.
