We're about 1 week from our federal elections where we pick our new Prime Minister and it just cracks me up how different it is in the USA. In the US, the elections are in November, but international and US national coverage starts going apeshit over the US campaigns in what? January or February? Almost a year before elections lol! In Canada, I think they start talking about it maybe 3 or 4 weeks before and even now at 1 week before no one really givrs a crap lol! Obviously the US leaves a MUCH bigger global footprint than Canada (unless we're talking about hockey pucks or polar bears) and their elections can sway the world in to major changes, whereas here in Canada in just means the guy bending us over and giving us a good reaming has a different name.

Yes, this is what I think of as I approve tutorials :P

You can say that again Faken. The world is doomed no matter what jerk offs run the countries anyways.
In fact id have more interest in a new frosted flakes then who gets elected in Canada.

The only reason I care remotely about the US Elections is because the war. If it was not for that I would not even tune in to the news on election day. :P

I don't think I have ever heard or seen any news coverage about canada here in the UK... No politic news, disasters or anything.

Canada is the unknown, untouched, quiet, better version of America! :P

Well I wouldn't go THAT far... there's a lot of stuff that I think is fantastic in the USA and Canada has some fairly ridiculous issues.

No one is interested much here neither everyones talking Obama.

We should be allowed to vote on US Politics since what ever happens in that country effects the rest of world.

Go Obama and goodbye to Harper the most useless PM yet. :popcorn:
