Cornelius the First

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cornelius the First was a Canadian rhinoceros, from Granby, Quebec, who was the nominal leader of the satirical Rhinoceros Party of Canada from 1965 to 1993. The party attracted a considerable number of votes in Canadian elections, sometimes even coming in second place in some ridings, but never elected a candidate to the Canadian House of Commons.

The name "Cornelius" is a French-language pun, as the French word for "horn" is corne.
