The great Canadian election of 2008 saw Slick Steve Harper slide into another Conservative minority. To be honest, Layton’s a bit of a loudmouth and Stéphane Dion reminds you of that kid at school who used to get his head dunked in the toilet every lunch hour. If the left had anything to offer, it was Elizabeth May from the Green Party – refreshing in her intelligence and her tact. Just remember while you’re busy gloating, you wicked bunch of stuffy punk conquistadors, 62.37% of us voted for the left wingers – don’t piss us off too much and we’ll be too lazy to organize and yank your asses out of office. Every once in a while, we do organize, you see. And when we do, it will be talked about for decades. That’s just how we roll. When we finally get around to it, we can put on a pretty good show.

And so, as the majority of Canada retreats to lick it’s wounds and find someone (anyone!) on the left with the ambition (that’s what we’re lacking, make no mistake) to make it to the top, we can now do what we’ve all been secretly itching to do – focus our full attention on our neighbors to the south.

If videos like this are any indication, this election promises to be a spectacle the likes of which we have never seen – and may never see again for many years to come. Hold onto your seats, ladies and gentlemen, because with only two weeks left in this race, the great American political carnival has only just begun.
