Liberals need Enza to drag back dignity

Not that she’s playing down the drag-queen aspect of her persona. She feels it’s particularly important because of what it means for the country as a whole ? an opportunity for every Canadian to drool over her scrumptious outfits. She stops short, however, of claiming she’s the only drag queen who has ever run for the Liberal leadership.

Her position is that maybe she’s the only one who has admitted it. This shows how, thanks to her big, blonde (sometimes brunette) sensitivity, she’ll deal with the nation’s anxiety regarding transparency: only for evening wear. Sequins? It depends on the occasion.

And if Bob Rae can admit that he made mistakes and claim he’s learned from them, so can Enza. It’s why her heels are barely three quarters the height they were when she ran for mayor of Toronto. “Those really high ones were wrecking me.”
