 | | Now, the entartistes' burlesque brand of political commentary has sprouted in Canada with the formation of a Montreal cell of the self-proclaimed "pie terrorists," who aim to wound only the inflated pride of their targets. |
 | | In the late 1970s, members of the Vancouver-based Anarchist Party of Canada, calling themselves the Groucho-Marxists, hit a number of targets, including former U.S. president Jimmy Carter's brother Billy, as well as the federal opposition leader, Joe Clark, and future B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm. |
 | | But in English Canada, most satirical attacks on politicians have been more like the benign fun-poking outbursts of This Hour Has 22 Minutes' Marg Delahunty -- who even had Ontario Premier Mike Harris laughing along when she accosted him in her Princess Warrior garb last year. |
