Mulcair to release fully costed family vacation plan this week

Montreal -- Thomas Mulcair to release his long-awaited fully costed family vacation plan this week, after criticism over its feasibility.

Mulcair today spoke about the plan, calling it a realistic and still fun one. He was questioned about whether his "first class flight to London, five star hotels and twelve-course meals for two whole weeks" vacation plan was a reasonable one given the circumstances, responding that "I've always fought for family vacations, and of course we're still doing exactly that. In a city the size of London light pollution makes stars difficult to see at night but we are still going to stay at a hotel of at least five visible stars. I promised that. Twelve courses over two weeks works out to a total of 168 courses and at a few courses a day we can meet this course quota by this quarter or the next. So it's still loads of fun."

Mulcair did apologize for the choice of words "first-class", however, saying that he had been unclear: "First just let me say that I've always fought for airplane class. Now in this case when I said first class I had assumed that my family was as much an X-Men fan as I am, and knew that it meant "a seat on an airplane while watching X-Men: First Class." I apologize though if anyone took my words the way they were never meant to be taken."

Party insiders have told umCanada that the sticking point over whether to release the fully costed platform on Wednesday or Thursday will hinge on the choice of London, England vs. London, Ontario.
