As if this city doesn't have enough Liberals, more are coming to town this month.
First on July 19, the "Liberal Dream Team" will be in town for a massive fundraiser at the Four Points Sheraton.
For just $250 ($62.50 after the tax credit), you can drink a cocktail for three hours in the same room as all the Liberal leadership losers at once.
Bob Rae will be there. Gerard Kennedy will be there. Even Maurizio Bevilacqua will be there (for a $1,000 donation to his leadership debt, he'll even teach you how to pronounce his last name).
While at the cocktail reception, the email invitation promises, you'll be able to learn from "these great Liberals...their plans for our country and how we can defeat Stephen Harper in the next election."
The plans, a source close to the event has told me, include exposing Harper's hair as an alien life form that is bent on destroying the maple syrup industry and bringing back that glowing trail that follows hockey pucks on TV so Americans can keep track of the game.
Two days later, on July 21, Mississauga-Brampton South MP Navdeep Bains is holding a barbecue at the Macedonia Picnic Grounds on Derry Rd.
This one doesn't cost money, though another confidential source has told me Bains will still teach you the proper way to pronounce Bevilacqua's name for a price.
Also, Liberal leader Stephane Dion is expected at Bains's BBQ.
The following weekend, Mississauga-Erindale MP Omar Alghabra and Mississauga Centre MPP Harinder Takhar are going to be holding a barbecue at Huron Park on Paisley Blvd. They're going to have Ken Dryden on hand for the event, and for a modest donation to his leadership debt he'll teach you how to lean on a goalie stick in such a way that it makes it appear you're unfazed by a losing score.
As far as I know, those are all the barbecues going on in the near future, though I'm sure more will pop up.
