There’s an election brewing in Canada right now, and I have really no clue how it works. Well, I guess I have a general idea, but the election process differs quite a bit compared to the states. The first, clear as day difference is that there are not two, not three, but four different parties running for the prime minister seat. The four candidates are not trying to get you to vote for them. They are trying to get you to vote for their party. You have the Liberal Party, Conservative Party, New Democratic Party, and the Bloc Party. Those are just the participating parties when it comes to debates and such because there are about ten various parties across Canada. In the last debate I caught, Jack Layton of the NDP did a hell of a job trying to brainwash the viewers with the constant ending of every statement to vote NDP. It was quite erie.
The Liberals have the PM slot right now, but it was the Conservatives who have forced this vote due to some shenanigans that went down under Jean Chretien’s time in the PM position. That’s the easiest way to explain it because I don’t understand it all and the story is much more in depth than that. And I like Paul Martin, not that I can vote for his party or really am that knowledgeable about Canadian politics, but as a prime minister, who else would you rather see on Corner Gas? Stephen Harper? I don’t think so.
Have you ever seen Village of the Damned? Tell me he doesn’t look like one of those kids, but grown up. Creepy.
