What's that funky smell? Must be an election.

So, it isn't bad enough we Canadians have to put up with coverage of the US presidential election, now we have to deal with choosing our own leader. Unlike the US, where I believe the choice is going to be really, really close. The choice in Canada is fairly clear. Better the devil you know, than the used-vibrator salesman waiting in the shadows.

The only real race is going to be a three-way fight for second between the Liberals, former rulers who held onto the country's coffers too long, the New Democrats, Canada's conscience who couldn't govern itself out of a wet paper bag, and the Bloc Quebecois, a party whose sole purpose is to destroy the country.

And America brags about freedom of speech.

As a moment of irony, the very first election I saw littering the landscape was for the Green Party dedicated to saving the environment.
