The Rhinoceros Party of Canada launched its campaign in front of the Verdun beach in Montreal on Saturday.

“Rhino” Jacques Bélanger, the party’s candidate for Lasalle–Émard–Verdun, was handing out hot dogs, handshakes and a lot of promises.

“We are promising you twice as many things as other parties,” Bélanger said.

One of these promises is to transform the Louis-Hippolyte-Lafontaine tunnel into a free car wash. Bélanger said they promise “a higher education to Canadians by building higher schools.”

The Rhinos want more green cars on the road, including dark green, pale green and fluorescent green cars. In fact, the party wants fluorescent green to be Canada’s national colour.

Around a dozen candidates were present at the urban beach to launch the campaign. Sébastien “CoRhino” Corriveau, leader of the party, said there will be between 80 and 100 candidates from the party in this year’s election.
