It always struck me as a waste of resources to do the typical "I stand for this great nation, the people deserve better" politician commercial. I mean, no one in their right minds can think they're being sincere. This at least gets people interested.

For those of you not living in Canada, Speaker's Corner is sort of a place where you can just go on camera and say whatever is on your mind, and once a week all the best gets played on TV. Its an amazing concept if you ask me, since you get such a variety of topics and opinions. Anyway, Layton went on Speaker's Corner and now my mom's all like "look, he's so in touch with the common man etc" but I thought it was just part of the campaign. I mean, there is no leader of a major (big 4) politiical party that under 40-ish. We aren't there any young (late 20s early 30s) politicians around, thats what I'de like to know.

George Stroumbolopolis for PM!

...and none of you have the vaugest idea of what I just said, do you?

:D:D

edit: the guy on the right, not the doofus. Now there's someone I'd want to run the country...

Post by: an0n on June 30, 2004, 04:20:41 am: Whoa, whoa, whoa. I thought we'd already established that when the time came for the GTVA to form and storm the American and British governments, seizing power in a bloodbath the likes of which no man had ever seen, that I would be made President?

C'z if that's not right, then I might as well go commission the Iceni right now......
