Sex and the Cities Minister...

Infrastucture funding for city roads and the gas tax transfer to municipalities may not be the sexiest of topics, but transport minister Lawrence Cannon, the Conservative government's Quebec point man, does indeed have a wild side.

The high profile cabinet minister, who is among those rumoured to be up for a promotion in a coming shuffle, was spotted Friday night in a Gatineau-area movie theatre to see the newly released chick flick, Sex and the City.

He may be Mr. Big in la belle province, but we couldn't help but wonder: Does he most identify with Carrie Bradshaw, the neurotic writer, Samantha Jones, the oversexed publicist, Miranda Hobbes, the cynical lawyer, or the idealistic Charlotte York-Goldenblatt?

We also couldn't help but wonder, given the government's troubles attracting female voters, whether any of the S 'n C gals would cast a ballot for the Tories.

So if you saw Martha Hall Findlay coming out of the Indiana Jones movie would have wondered if any of the male characters would be likely to vote Liberal? (Given the difficulty that Dion has attracting male voters, I mean - never mind, you never report on that, so I guess that answers the question...)
