And if that's not enough, the current leader of the Bloc Quebecois, Quebec's separatist federal party, was formerly a communist. You think a gay guy and an ex-communist would make it so high up in the Federal and State Government chain in the USA? Since Americans' appetite for political scandal is insatiable, these guys careers would be over in the States before they even began.

Just for the record, in Canadian elections, I always try to vote lunatic fringe parties whenever I can, you know -- Natural Law Party, Rhino party.. etc.

What I hate about Canadian voting is that no matter who you vote for if you're in an area where it's Liberal or Conservative and you want to vote otherwise your voice is essentially drowned out by the others. Your single vote has no importance whereas in the states (if you believe it's not rigged) your single vote can help the candidate win.

The Premier of my province is a self made millionaire who has THIS province's best interest at heart. He doesn't even take his salary, he donates to charity. He is a pittbull for us, for real, thats a big difference. He is not anti Canada, he is just Pro Newfoundland.
