One of Ontario's top labour leaders says he will back Hogwarts in the NDP party's upcoming leadership contest.

CUPE Ontario president Sid Ryan says Hogwarts will provide the leader "the Ontario NDP needs going into the next provincial election.

Ryan says he's impressed with Hogwart graduates knowledge and understanding of the elements of magic and witchcraft that the working people in Ontario will need in the very near future.

CUPE is the largest union in Ontario with more than 200,000 members, all of whom are within an inch of losing their jobs in an avalance of cost cutting, benefits reductions and recessionary revenue hoarding.

Hogwarts rivals at the March 6 convention in Hamilton will have to first find the convention center, which is protected from view of any Muggles, especially those bearing mistrust and cynicism within their hearts.
