OTTAWA (CP) - They provided a flash of excitement during a federal-provincial conference otherwise dominated by dry discussions about wait times and cash transfers.


A crowd of federal-provincial officials, journalists and security guards was given an impromptu peep show as they milled outside a national health-care summit Wednesday.


The unexpected performances came from guests at the Westin hotel across the street from the convention centre where federal-provincial talks were being held.


The spectacle began in the morning when a woman appeared topless at a window in the hotel.


Another woman came to her window on the seventh floor several times wearing only a bra and black-thong underwear. Cheers went up from some in the crowd below at each of her appearances.


"White bra means there's a (medicare) deal, black means there's no deal and nude means we're all coming back tomorrow," said one wag.

Oh, Canada. True North, strong and free.

1. isn't

there a rule somewhere that stories like this MUST have pictures? If there is not a rule I would like to propose one now. Mmmmm thong in the window. Reminds me of that song, "How much is that thong, in the window..."
