Hahaha. . .Canada Party announces candidacy for U.S. Presidency!

This is just too funny. . .some Canadian comics have posted a video encouraging Americans to vote for Canada to run our country. . .

Of course, they might have to vote out the Harper plague before I can consider campaigning for them. . .take a look:

"Yes We Canada"

“Who better to lead America than a country already leading America in so many ways?” is just the beginning of Canadian Brian Calvert’s case, made in a YouTube video, for why Americans should vote for Canada to run the U.S. this fall.

A scrolling list of things Mr. Calvert argues Canadians do better include healthcare, human rights, and the employment rate – along with big foot sightings, lumberjack fashion and bear attacks.

Catch the video at the end. . .

Thank you, Canadians for injecting some humor in this election cycle

I wanted to mock birtherism, but it looks like our Friends from the North beat us to it.

stick with President Obama and the Democrats, a much better bet than our current neo-cons. I would trade ours for yours in a heartbeat right now!
