      Welcome again to Caption the Campaign Photo, where we pick an amusing election picture and you help us caption it.

      This Conservative Party of Canada picture shows Stephen Harper campaigning today (April 26) in Asbestos, Quebec.

      I'd attempt a bad joke, but the Conservative leader was actually there to defend the country's exports of the cancer-causing mineral, mostly to developing countries.

      So, here's how this caption contest works.

      If you were Harper, what would you be saying in this picture? Tell us in the comments section below or on our Facebook page.

      We'll repost the photo tomorrow (April 27) using our favourite submission.

      Update (April 28): So, I'm a day late. Commenter "Bruno15" suggested this caption. Thanks everyone.

      Breathe deep fools because I don't care about you. We just want your money.

      Voting us to power is as safe as putting asbestos in your home full of kids! Trust me!

      I don't know how long I can hold my breath.Breathing this asbestos insulation is worse than breathing the putrid air of the oil sands.
