That’s sort of a crime, don’t you think? They have two major par­ties, and the can­di­dates vie for supremacy until it is down to two pres­i­den­tial can­di­dates and their run­ning mates. Then those two groups cam­paign for over a year, and then on elec­tion night, every pos­si­ble sta­tion is glued to the elec­tion and they bust out some sweet tech­nol­ogy to make all this shit that much cooler. To top it all off, at the end of the night, both the winner and the loser give solid, stand-​along speeches that actu­ally make you nod your head, tear-​up, or just feel proud.

Canada has four major par­ties (yes, I count the Greens as a major party) they cam­paign for a couple months, and then with a record low vote, we elect an idiot and his gay-​hating friends. The elec­tion night didn’t even have a good rep­re­sen­ta­tion of what was going on, and I ended up using the Inter­net to find a better break­down of what the hell was going on. I don’t recall any speeches that actu­ally struck a chord with me, and I’m a God-​damned Canadian.

This shit is bananas.
