Toronto (CP)
In a campaign swing through the heart of federal Liberal country today, Liberal leadership front runner Paul Martin took the opportunity to make his first definitive policy statement of the race.
Martin stated that the urban youth posing on the TTC Streetcars, Buses, and Subway trains "Ain't all that."
"Yo, guy, check it," said Martin. "You see them in their Exco jeans and Phat Pharm tops, cold bustin' a front, and you think: Guy, if you was ballin' n' all that, you'd be rollin' in a seven series, or a 500 SEL, not ridin' the rocket."
Martin went on to say "Guy, I checked this homie on the Queen Streetcar the other day, and I'm thinkin', no matter how many seats you be sprawlin' yo ass across, it don't change the fact that you still be sharin' yo' ride wit 50 or 60 strangers. Yo, you ain't all that."
Martin's bold 'dis' was viewed by some as a blatant attempt to appeal to a younger audience, amidst criticism that his campaign was focusing on grey haired Bay Street power brokers to the exclusion of the rank of file liberal membership.
Martin dismissed the allegation as "Stone cold whacked."
