I can barely even tell that we're having an election here.
According to Canadian television, there are no charismatic adults in Canada right now (possibly ever, other than Trudeau). And that goes double for Canadian politics. No one in the running strikes me as a person I would feel okay about, as a leader. Most 5 year olds inspire more confidence. I will vote NDP, because our local candidate is terrific, but even though I think Jack Layton is an alright guy, I can't see him as Prime Minister.
And then Harper's an automaton, and Dion's been so effectively smeared by the Tories... and y'know, May is not exactly a contender. I'm not even sure what to hope for in this election. Maybe I'll just wish that the party leaders all get electrocuted at the debates, and other people have to step in to their roles.
