OTTAWA — If by some miracle it ever gained office, this new political party would declare Spanish as Canada's official language and pass legislation forcing Prime Minister Stephen Harper to go on a diet.

They're proud of smoking marijuana, plan to scrap the military budget, and would replace the Department of National Defence with a Ministry of Laughter.

Welcome to the Neorhino party.

They bill themselves as the heirs to the old Rhinoceros party that specialized in satire and ran unsuccessfully in every federal election from 1965 to 1988.

The new party -- Neorhino.ca -- held a news conference on Parliament Hill today.

They call themselves Marxists-Lennonists -- inspired by Groucho Marx and John Lennon -- and don't seem to have a clear political ideology, other than the promotion of fun.
