It's very bizarre how our own views of politics interpret a statement so differently.
I suspect that Mulcair, telling people he's from a family of 10, who are all civil servants, plays very well with a certain portion of his base.
I, on the other hand, think "wow, 10 children seems incredibly irresponsible, and all of you are sucking off the teat of the government...not a single one in the private sector....."
I mean, this is isn't going to change my opinion of the NDP one way or the other, but I just find it funny how I view that as such a negative but others will find it endearing.
