Stephane Dion the best-dressed political cowboy at the Stampede


Fashion Leader

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY - There's a rite of passage that's as common as parades, flapjack breakfasts and bronco bustin' at the Calgary Stampede each year - it's the annual stampede of politicians taking in the event.

In order to fit in, all of them from the far left to the far right, make an attempt at going native with the addition of cowboy boots, hats and jeans. Brian Guichon, the owner of Riley and McCormick Western Stores in Calgary has rated the leaders 'cowboyness' this year.

He said surprisingly Liberal leader Stephane Dion was the best dressed followed closely by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

New Democrat leader Jack Layton received an honourable mention.

But Guichon said Green Party leader Elizabeth May is a "distant last place" and could use some help next year since her duds closely resembed a leisure suit.
