CJC inclusiveness: The Jewish advocacy group’s “congrats” to Stephen Harper are somewhat diluted by its’ including every single candidate from every single party—and every single community and agenda in the land—in its good wishes:

Toronto- CJC extends warmest congratulations to Prime Minister Stephen Harper on the Conservative Party of Canada's electoral victory.

CJC Co-Presidents Sylvain Abitbol and Rabbi Reuven Bulka said today, "CJC warmly congratulates Prime Minister Harper on being re-elected and we wish him and his caucus well in carrying out their responsibilities. We also urge a spirit of cooperation among all parties in the new Parliament to best deal with issues of critical significance to Canada and the international community."

"We acknowledge the dedicated efforts of the leaders of all parties during the campaign and thank all of the candidates for running for the House of Commons in the interest of public service. CJC looks forward to working with the new MPs as well as the returning incumbents on the agendas of our community and all Canadians."

Talk about casting a wide net. You know what can happen when one does that, though. You can end up consorting with some mighty dubious fish—pirana, sharks and the like.
