Rhino Party Rah Rah Rah

By Anthony Cerminaro

The Parti Rhinocéros, AKA the Rhinoceros Party, was registered in Canada for more than 30 years. They issued ?A promise to keep none of our promises.? Members of the party claimed to be the ?spiritual descendants? of Cacareco, a Brazilian rhino that was elected to São Paulo?s city council in the 1950s.

Promises the party made (which they had already promised not to keep) included repealing the law of gravity, paving Manitoba to make the world?s largest parking lot, ending crime by abolishing all laws and that they would enforce higher education by building taller schools.
