This story, from Canadian Press, is just too funny.
Why can't we have candidates like this one across Canada?
I mean really.
OTTAWA (CP) - Some may see it as the ultimate in political navel-gazing - an Independent candidate in the Jan. 23 election wants to clamp down on the clamping down of umbilical cords.
Donna Young believes homosexuality can be explained by whether a person's umbilical cord was clamped immediately after birth.
Young, 63, is running in the British Columbia riding of Prince George-Peace River and says she makes no judgment about people's sexual preferences.
While not exactly a debate about innies or outies, Young is serious about her theory that people who had their cords clamped are missing hormones to match their sex organs.
Young also said in an interview that the clamping causes health problems.
"Basically, this is the last field of emancipation and a woman controlling her body," said Young.
