Human foot sent to Conservative Party HQ

[CHIMO]

An Ottawa coroner has confirmed a package delivered Tuesday to the Conservative Party of Canada's headquarters in downtown Ottawa contained a human foot.

Major Crimes Staff Sgt. Bruce Pirt said the suspicious package was delivered through Canada Post and conceded it's possible it was sent as a "gruesome message."

The foot was decomposing and there was a stench when a CPC employee opened it, said Pirt. He would not say whether the foot belonged to that of a male or female.

Police are also investigating another package that came from the same postal depot, but Pirt said so far it's too early to say if it is suspicious.

1. That is insane and freaking scary! Whoever sent it is one sick and vile human being.

2. What is it about Canada and severed feet?

[Nay]

6. I wish I knew. 7 of them have washed up around Vancouver Island, and they still don't know

(or haven't revealed) to whom they belonged. indeed.

3. And now a second one. Glad to see no recycled foot jokes here.

#cdnpoli on Twitter is just littered with 'em.

No funnier this time than they were when all the feet were washing up on the west coast.

4. Disgusting. Who would do such a thing?

5. Just wait. The Harper Government™ will exploit this to their own benifit. n/t
