The NDP's Mr. Moustachio challenge
You may remember last week's blog about the moustache-off a couple of NDP MPs started in order to raise money for prostate cancer.

But Nathan Cullen and Glenn Thibeault did manage to raise $1,200 for prostate cancer.
In this video, you can see how far their facial hair got, as well as a feature appearance by their moustachioed leader.
