Political Rally: Etobicoke Centre

Ethnic Costume Dept: “The national campaign was not aware. We find it completely unacceptable,” Mr. Sparrow said. “It doesn’t reflect the intentions of the event whatsoever. It’s a political rally and the contents of the e-mail were unacceptable.”, according to Globe And Mail. “The opportunity is to have up to 20 people in national folklore costumes which represent their ethnic backgrounds. These people will sit in front row behind the PM – great TV photo op. We are seeking representation from the Arab community. Do you have any cultural groups that would like to participate by having someone at the event in an ethnic costume?” the e-mail states and ryan Sparrow, spokesman for the Conservative Party, said the e-mail was not authorized by the national campaign. The e-mail, which was written by party volunteer Zeljko Zidaric, said the Etobicoke Centre Conservative campaign was planning a photo-op that would portray a rainbow of multicultural support for Mr. Harper and the local candidate. As reported in the news.
