I'm glad that, as a Canadian, our elections tend to be a little more about the issues and our candidates tend to be a little more informed, or at least that's what they try to focus on (though we are headed away form that as the States has).

I will say, however, that our elections are not nearly as entertaining as yours. I seriously cannot imagine a leader of one of our parties saying these things and not being either encouraged to resign or just laughed right out of their position.
