Saddo U.S.Presidential Poll

[Wayne]

Well, the way things happen in the United States have an effect on what happens in Canada. This also works in reverse, to a much lesser extent though.

With the economy especially, US policies affect Canada, because USA is Canada's biggest trading partner. Also, Canada is at war in Afghanistan because of the US. So we have a stake.

Besides, it's only politics, it aint rocket science.

I wasn't implying that it was difficult to figure out, moreso that it's something that i wouldn't even have the inclination to figure out (the government of another country)

but what youngblood clearly states makes sense.. and answers my question..

I'm just coming from a perspective where I don't even think i've ever followed any politics in England, so it's just weird/interesting to see a different side of things..

True enough. Here, if you watch TV or read the newspaper, you can't avoid US politics. British politics, you have to go looking for it. People in Canada are generally interested in US politics. I would imagine that Canadian politics really doesn't interest too many Americans. Just a guess.

This is very true. I was just in Canada over the weekend (Windsor) and I always get the feeling that Canadians are bending over backwards to keep Quebec from leaving the union. Am I right?
