The number of charity photo ops performed by a Liberal leader is inversely proportional to his polling numbers.

I hope it's not true this time with Iggy, but based on my work with charities, Politicians usually stay and work for no more than half-an-hour - long enough to get the requisite photographs and "feel" like they've done something - some gracious charity work, and then leave.
The Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto is notorious for these photo-ops - stay for a good fifteen minutes gladhanding and chitchatting, put a few donated food items in a box or on a table, and then "poof" - no more politician. They just vanish.
anyone believing that Iggy and his illustrious ass-kicker care anything about the homeless and downtrodden, likely live in Rosedale or beaches
TangoJuliette sez:
After a lifetime in the Hospitality Industry some things are second nature. In this staged photo op: The Missus Iffy has long straggly and greasy hair. Mr Iffy [that's Iffy, not Stiffy, though he's usually quite stiff looking] has greasy looking hair, coupled with a look of discomfort for being with the needy.
My place would have gotten at leas a couple of health citations for such flagrant disregard for the local health laws.
Mr. & Mrs. Iffy are working without a 'net.
HAIRNET, that is. No MSM hue and cry like when the PM was filmed without safety goggles. Noticeable, right background, male and female staff wearing some form of head-covering.
I know. "These peasants are beneath protection of the law?" Is that it, Count?? But if you're serving warren's chat flambee, hairnets are superfluous.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL PARK:: WHAT MINISTERS???
Canadian Press reported on Friday, Oct 16, 2009:
On another ethical front Friday, a non-partisan group asked the ethics, lobbyist and elections commissioners to investigate a fundraiser organized for Tory MP Rick Dykstra.
Democracy Watch said Dykstra hosted 60 “friends” last month in the owner’s box at Toronto’s Roger’s Centre for a Blue Jays baseball game. The donors got tickets to the game, access to the owner’s suite, food and drinks, an opportunity to attend batting practice and meetings with unidentified federal cabinet ministers and Blue Jays players.
The group wants to know what, if anything, Dykstra or the party paid for the various perks – particularly the owner’s box which can’t be rented and is only used with permission of owner Rogers Communications Inc., a company which lobbies the federal government.
