Calgary (LHJ)
Prominent Calgary lawyer Jim Prentice bowed out of the race for leader of the Conservative Party today, citing a lack of the funds needed to mount an effective campaign.
Prentice said at a news conference, "I was relying on a major donor, and that donor has retracted their support for reasons unique to them. As a result I will not be continuing with my campaign."
Suspiciously, Prentice's withdrawl from the race comes two days after the largest bust in Canadian history of an indoor Marijuana grow operation. Police seized over 30,000 plants, with an estimated street value of more than $130,000,000.
The link was clear to NDP spokesperson Ras Tafari. "It's pretty obvious to me which source of funding suddenly dried up. Besides, Prentice must have seen smoking something serious if he thought he had any chance of beating Harper."
In other news, Harper is set to enter the race for leader tomorrow, but already boasts a commanding lead, especially among the crucial "Pick up truck driving, tobacco chewing" demographic group.
