Michael Chong becomes poster boy for sanitary washrooms in Guatemala
Leadership candidate responds joking that poster is 'international outreach' for his campaign
If cleanliness is next to godliness, Michael Chong is all-powerful — at least in Guatemala.
The Conservative MP and leadership contender has become the poster boy for spotless public washrooms in the Central American country.
His larger-than-life, smiling visage has been spotted gracing a large poster outside a Guatemalan washroom.
The poster announces a "special service" for men: sanitary and hygienic bathroom facilities.

The poster was spied by a visiting Canadian, Bailey Greenspon, who tweeted a photo that's provoking hilarity on Parliament Hill.
Chisholm Pothier, communications director for Chong's leadership campaign, says in a tweet that even Guatemalans think Chong is special; "you can too Canada."
Chong responded by retweeting the image with a caption of his own:
