Without drawing too fine a point on the Velvet Touch, the bawdy house where then Coun. Jack Layton was taken by surprise during a visit from police, Canada’s New Democrat Party (NDP) has been hanging out in dank and dark places.
The Layton bawdy house incident took place 15 years ago, and Layton, now NDP leader, calls the Toronto Sun dredging back up of the Velvet Touch, a smear.
But it’s May 2011 and the NDP constitution is the only one not online among the other national mainstream parties running in tomorrow’s election.
