Did you know?

While everyone in the US has been hearing about election politics for the past year, up here in Canada we had an entire campaign and election in a third of the time.

Talk about efficiency.

Maybe because there’s nothing historic or major about your election in Canada. I mean we are talking about the US here. The outcome of our election is a pretty big deal for us and the world. just saying.

BTW Texas wipes the floor with BC and Chicago and should be it’s own country!!

Gotta love the inevitable Conservative party takeover.

Bryan, if Texas becomes its own country can it take its own President away with it? Bush still has a couple of months to run, more than enough for him to do plenty of damage to the world if he chooses. But then I suppose the non-Texan world would get Cheney for that time, which might be even worse.

Bryan,

The Canadian election system is different. The government can be replaced at anytime if a vote passes. It did and so a couple months later there was an election.

If the US worked like that Bush would have been gone pretty quickly after he was reelcted in 04.

By the way, I like parts of Texas. Particularly the Rio Grande Valley.

Jeremiah: Luckily, the Conservative Party in Canada is more liberal than the Republican party – at least on the issues that are they should be.
