But my video is funny too.
Our money is worth more than yours!!!!
Until you realize that you have to be in Canada to spend it.
Ouch.
your country makes a nice hat
I bet Tim Horton wins.
Americans can make fun of someone else's political climate with zero sense of irony.
So strange to me.....

How the fvck do you people know everywhere I've lived?
Yeah......atlanta is JUST LIKE THAT EVERY SINGLE PLACE AND EVERYWHERE. That's not sarcastic. I mean it.
I actually convinced my girlfriend to move here with the 'you dead in a dumpster' speech.

That's not what the pricing on the back of my book says...
...or at the local car dealer....or the Oakley store....or......
Purchasing power, m'boy, the largest consumer market in the world. All those people buying cars, Oakleys, books, etc that they couldn't afford has to have *some* positive effect.
you left out homes.
Ya know...at the risk of turning serious for a moment....
...and while I won't come right out and say our system is "better"...but....there is some merit to the parliamentary system. When you aren't voting for a specific person, but the party, the system is less susceptible to crap like Donald Trump is pulling. (or at least to my knowledge, it's never really happened where on guy can distract things so much....but I don't really know much about Canadian politics, cuz it's kinda boring....which is probably how it's supposed to be. Not a circus where the loudest, craziest frother gets the most attention.
Where am I going with this? I do not know.
Good day to you.
I said, GOOD DAY!

^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mmike is right. 
so you don't think people vote party over person here.....or up until recently....on both sides?^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mmike is right.
I was speaking more about the "loudest craziest frother" bit. $tinkle makes a valid point about the African American vote for Obama though. Just as voting solely along party line is dumb, voting for a black guy just cause he is a black guy is stupid too. I'm not going to vote for a loud mouth angry white guy just because I'm a loud mouth angry white guy, were that true I'd have voted McCain.
But we CAN'T vote for the guy directly. Unless you happen to live in the riding where the party leader represents, his (or her) name isn't on the ballot. You can only vote for your immediate member of parliament in your area. Whichever party wins the most ridings, gets to control parliament. Whoever happens to be the leader of the party, is Prime Minister. And a leader can step down as leader of the party, to be replaced internally.....thus becoming the new prime minister.
So there's no real "voting for the guy you'd most like to have a beer with"
i see....
Riiiiiiiiight. So NDP's rapid rise in the polls from 13% to 32% in the past couple weeks has nothing to do with Jack Layton's popularity, especially after the debate...
And I think I'll pass (as always) on a parliamentary system of government. 4 elections in 7 years? Yeah, that's not exactly my idea of "stable system of governance".

I didn't say it was better......
4 elections in 7 years may be stupid...but more than two years of campaigning per election? So more than half of someone's term is spent just campaigning for the job rather than actually doing it?
