Popping culture: Anderson endorses Halifax mayoral candidate

Anderson Cooper decided to throw in his own two cents on the recent Halifax mayoral run. Mr Cooper’s choice: Tuxedo Stan, a cat (unofficially) running for the Tuxedo party, on a platform to have stray cats spayed and neutered. In his piece on the Ridiculist, Cooper states that he wishes he was invited to a dinner party in Canada, where the topic of a cat running for mayor becomes a good idea. I have a better idea, Mr Cooper. Come to dinner at my house, we can discuss the issues in Halifax’s mayoral race, and then you can host a debate between the candidates.

Let’s do it.
