Do you want a new prime minister with those fries?
Burger Heaven in New Westminster has opened their “bun-official” federal election poll, allowing voters to order the burger that most aligns with their preferred political party.
The tasty tradition has been running at the popular burger joint for 28 years and is on now until Oct. 20. The federal election takes place on Oct. 21.
Each burger ordered will count towards one vote for that party’s leader, the results of which will be tracked on a board at the restaurant.
Scroll on to see some of the “tongue-in-cheek” menu offerings available during this election campaign.

“Heard through the ‘pipeline’, this ‘seasoned’ ‘Lean-to-the-Middle’ Prime Grade A juicy burger, was ‘JUST-IN’ our previous Burger Poll menu and now savours the chance to stay on top of the burger board as things heat up in the proverbial political frying pan. Cooked on the front middle burner, it includes medium-aged cheddar, lots of sauce, crisp lettuce, a liberal slab of bacon, slice of BC red tomato and is striving to create some heat in the political kitchen, as it spices things up with ingredients that are indigenous to the country.”

“New on the menu, this tasty ‘Lean-to-the-Right’ Prime Grade A Beef burger ‘Scheer’ (sure) hopes to ‘cut the mustard’ and be on top of the burger board by saying lettuce lead so that you’ll get ahead. This culinary choice is cooked with relish on the front right burner and includes a conservative slice of tangy Regina blue cheese, aromatic onion and our special sauce. Plus, this ‘platter’-form can come with mushrooms (not mushrooming expenses). Full of flavour, it can also include pickled (we want to) ‘beet’ the current ruling party.”
This is an edited photo illustration of Jagmeet Singh holding a burger.
“To spice things up, this burger is ‘Singh’ing the praises of this Nicely Done Patty of ‘Lean-to-the-Left’ Prime Grade A Beef that is trying to gain ‘Ground’ on the front left burner as it stirs the pot with promises of higher taxes for the rich which could help voters/eaters with their burger bills. It includes strong O(u)nions, juicy tomato, Scarborough orange cheddar served on a multigrain bun. This burger candidate relishes the opportunity to drain some fat out of the Liberals’ slice of bacon but has a way to ‘ketchup’ with the other parties in the political kitchen.”
This is an edited photo illustration of Elizabeth May holding a burger.
“Grilled on the back burner using clean fuel, this Prime Grade A Patty of Beef which can be served in a fresh green lettuce wrap with dollops of green relish, Mayo, a slice of organic tomato, and home-grown Saanich feta/goat cheese, is cooked in a controlled carbon-free area on a back burner and is popular with our environmentally-conscious customer concerned about ecological issues. Freshly seasoned, this burger is beginning to attract more voters/eaters who ‘May’ want to select this one.”

“This choix de Prime Grade A Patty du bœuf B(BQ)’d on the back center left burner comes with french dressing, dijon mustard et le fromage bleu avec les frites. Chip off the old “Bloc”…this burger juteux is ‘separated’ from the rest in the proverbial political frying pan, especially in the West.”
This is an edited photo illustration of Maxime Bernier holding a burger.
“To spice things up and ‘Max’imize flavour, this Piquant Prepared Choice (PPC) of ‘Lean to the far right’ Grade A burger is brand new on the political scene and cooked on the centre right burner. It comes with a Conservative dollop of Bernier (Bernaise) sauce, sharp fromage, a slice of fresh tomato and purple cabbage slaw.”
NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. – New Westminster’s Burger Heaven is hosting their traditional election burger poll. Diners can order the burger that most aligns with the political leader of their choosing.
“Not sure which burger candidate we want to select at the moment.”
