Happy Valentines Day from the NDP

Te New Democrats have been sending valentines wishes to Prime Minister Harper and the Tories. Their card contained the following verse:

"Women's equality is now under threat.
Cuts to Status of Women, is that all we get?
Canadian women fought too hard to go back.
We demand action to get back on track."

And concluded:
"Harper, women deserve equality now."

MP Irene Mathyssen tried to deliver the poem in person at the prime minister's official residence but was stopped by Harper's security force and wasn't allowed on the premises. The guards wouldn't accept the huge heart-shaped box containing the message. Peggy Nash eventually handed the valentine to Harper in the House of Commons.

I wonder if the prime minister will get a more loving valentine from Laureen?
