My parent’s got this in the mail (regular mail) from their Oxford County MP, Conservative Dave MacKenzie:
Nothing unusual about constituents receiving a flyer or note at Christmas from their local MP wishing them a Merry Christmas, except that this was received by my folks in their mailbox this morning on January 14, 2008*. It didn’t even get here in time for Orthodox Christmas, let alone traditional Christmas. I have yet to go around to my neighbours to see if they also received the same flyer.
I’m not sure whether this was Canada Post bungling up, or some staffers of Mr. Mackenzie’s in Ottawa or Woodstock didn’t look at the calendar or plain forgot and simply sent them out in the spirit of “better late then never”, but I thought it amusing enough to mention.
* - My parents will vouch that they received it at this late date if anyone doubts it - they are not partisan political supporters.
