Yup. Canadian politics is boring.
And would you like to know why? Because they actually manage to accomplish things.
You don't see the poison or venom in Canadian politics that you see in American politics. It simply doesn't exist up here.
Up here you don't see the hard core, radical retards that you see in America. You don't see the pure hate that the likes of HappyHappy embrace.
Even tunnel visioned, two dimensional thinkers like Pud are few and far between. (I'm speaking purely of politics, of course)
And why? Because as Canadians, we're simply not an arrogant or pretentious people. We like to get along. We don't cause a snit just for the sake of causing a snit.
And that's what makes our politics so much better than the Americans.
We don't view politics as a war with a scorched Earth mentality. Our politicians aren't out to destroy each other. Our political parties still have common decency. Which is something that is sadly lacking in American politics.
We have 3 major political parties in Canada, which means that Canadians are not unfamiliar with having a minority government. We don't have run-off elections in Canada, so theoretically a political party could get 35% of the seats ... and win the election!
And that my friends, is a very good thing.
Why? Because a minority government can't ram anything down anyone's throat. They have to work with the other parties to get things done.
And you know what? ..... that's exactly what they do! No kidding. They actually do that! Opposing political parties in Canada actually get together to hash things out to do what is right for Canada!
It's a level of non partisanship that the average American couldn't even fathom.
If you Americans put aside your arrogance for a while, you could learn a thing or two from us Canucks.
