This has got to be an April Fool's Day Joke

A CTV News website is reporting that Lord Vader's boy,Ben Mulroney, is set to run in Papineau for Conservatives according to National Newswatch.

CTV News says that Ben Mulroney, will announce his bid to seek the Conservative nomination in the Montreal-area riding of Papineau, Monday.
Last month, Justin Trudeau, the eldest son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, confirmed to the media that he would be seeking the Liberal nomination in the same riding.
Conservative Party officials were not available for comment early Sunday morning, however one Tory insider confirmed to CTV News that Mulroney will be parachuted into the riding by Prime Minister Harper. Mulroney is also expected to immediately step down from his hosting duties of the wildly popular CTV series 'Canadian Idol,' currently in production.
Producers of Canadian Idol refused to confirm reports that home-grown comedian Mike Bullard was being wooed to fill Mulroney's hosting shoes.
At least the TV watching public will be rid of him.

UPDATE: The link is a fake. http://www.ctv.nationalnewswatch.com/CTVNews_019291019_TopStories_.htm
But we can still dream about being rid of Ben Mulroney.
