Saddo U.S.Presidential Poll

[CGM]

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?

That's a tough call. Honestly I'm not sure whether or not the majority of Canadians bend over backwards or not to keep Quebec. They certainly get lots of concessions from the federal government. It depends on the province. Ontario would fight to keep Quebec, Alberta and to a lesser extent BC don't care that much. Myself, I think the French/English duality is one of the best parts of the country, but I can understand why the hard core separatists feel the need to have their own country in order to maintain their identity.

I remember sitting in the bar once with my friends, and we were watching on TV the tallying of the votes for the Quebecers voting on separation. They voted 50.5% to 49.5% to stay in Canada. That was more dramatic than any 7th game world series or SuperBowl, let me tell you.
