Poor Canucks, it makes more difference to those folks who is president in the US than who is PM in Canada (or so it would seem). I am proud to not even be able to tell you who the important political parties are over there... Although I seem to remember it's 3?
Who cares though..

Actually the US elections are important to us because the current administration is the most disliked in the history of polling in Canada... I believe support (averaged out across the country) is hovering between 12-17%. Because of the multi-cultural make up (not melting pot) people are very concerned about world affairs, and right now the US is having the greatest impact on world affairs (for good or bad) so people are very interested. In the past it was the UK, but now the kid with the big stick is the US so it's wise to keep an eye on him...
Oh.. in case your wondering Kerry wasn't the most popular Democratic candidate up here....
