Michael Ignatieff wants to make the puffin a symbol of the Liberal Party of Canada:
“It’s a noble bird because it has good family values. They stay together for 30 years,” Ignatieff said Thursday outside a Liberal caucus retreat in the Newfoundland and Labrador capital.“They lay one egg (each year). They put their excrement in one place. They hide their excrement.… They flap their wings very hard and they work like hell.
“This seems to me a symbol for what our party should be.”
A bird that carefully hides its excrement is actually appropriate for the Liberals, come to think of it.

That really is too funny/surreal for words.
