content: In our defense, remember that our political system is total shit. Only 68% of Canadians bothered to vote, and less than 40% of them voted Liberal. That's ~25% of eligible voters.  Plus in Canada our Federal election is more like the congressional election you Americans are having this year. We don't actually vote for a prime minister, just a local MPP. The party elects its own leader. And then the Queen of England decides who gets first chance to form the government. Really screams "freedom", doesn't it?
