You Too Can Run For The Leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada!

The Right Honourable Paul Martin Jr. resigned as leader of the federal Liberal Party following the defeat of his gov't in January's election. Frank McKenna isn't interested. Brian Tobin isn't interested. But are you interested?

To get you started, Rick Mercer is offering a little something to help you out: The Rick Mercer Report Liberal Leadership Kit, available now on eBay Canada.

All I really want is to be addressed as "Right Honourable"...

In Canada, I believe you may hold the title for life if you are the PM, the Governor-General or Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The GG may also grant you the title for life for exceptional public service. The leader of the opposition is traditionally given the honourific as well, but only for the duration of his/her tenure.
