I would have supported a slighter stronger thwack with that pointer on the slide of Stockwell Day.

87 billion dollar deficit...... whoops.

What is so funny is that although people "said" they didn't want an election, look at how they voted and changed everything beyond what anyone expected.

@ElProximo i wonder why you received to many negative votes??? people think thats bad how about this im voting for the ndp cuz im a whore and feel like getting screwed by some one else lol

[philipstephenbird]

@truckerguy72 I voted for the NDP and we kicked ass in my riding and the conservative candidate never said congrats to my mp and the liberal candidate who also lost did congratulate my candidate for a job well done in Hamilton center

Thank god our ancestors gave up mechanism to protect ourselves from authoritariens. Politics presented in that way have way more chance of reaching a broader audience. Keep up the funny coming.

@ElProximo apathy isn't really a better state than hysteria don't you think?

@answerswithquestions You made me laugh with your comment. Although I feel like I shouldn't laugh because you're right.

@cristeal23 Since he doesn't actually talk about the election at all, I thought it was pretty clear that the video was made a while ago. Like, when Michaelle Jean was Governor General, I'll bet.

@ElProximo It's a great opportunity to let the kids battle it out in the principles office while we still get to decide.

While watching world news, I'm glad all we have to do is spend a little money, sweat it out over kitchen table talk and simply go to the polls again - violence free.
