Nana: I have no idea, but it makes me disappointed to be a (mostly) humanesque being.

Sorry Bucholz, I am a Canadian, and I think that Canadian elections are crap, and for several reasons. First, there are too many minority governments, we never get anything done. Second, the Conservatives win because they’re one party, left side votes are split between 3-4 parties. And third, the first past the post system doesn’t allow for representation by population.

Guys, this is a humor website. HUMOR.
Why is everyone so serious and offended about this article?
I found it entertaining, and I’m American.

In the US we don’t elect our president directly either. We vote for some idiot in the electoral College and use high amounts of hope that idiot actually votes the way the people in the state s/he represents want to vote. If we did have direct voting, you think we would of had the current president? Last time I checked the popular vote on that election, McCain actually was eaking out ahead….but since Obama got more Electoral votes he won….makes sense to you? Popular votes are the peoples votes…yet the guy to gain more of them doesn’t necessarily win since each state has different electoral vote amounts. Democracy my ass.

@Teresa: Kirk Barry a.k.a Captain Beany founded the New Millennium Bean Party and pulled in 122 votes in the 2001 General Election. Now look me in the virtual eye and tell me that British elections aren’t fun.

Counting the Xs wins. You really cannot fuck it up. It’s like the pinecone-birchbark system … but doesn’t weigh quite so many kilometres

This article is stupid. It’s just comparing Presidential government with Parliamentary government. Both have its advantages and disadvantages. If America suddenly switched to a Parliamentary system, no one would understand anything and it’d likely cause a state of anarchy. The same goes vice versa. Our system works for us, and your system works for you. Now shut up and deal with it.

if your ever bored in Ottawa at around 2 in the afternoon and happen to be incredibly high, i strongly recommend going to Question period.
it is free and the most entertaining 45 minutes of your week.
You instantly realize why nothing ever gets done and Zingers are thrown out by 50+ yr old men in tailored suits to (im not joking) standing ovations from the rest of their party
occasionaly the speaker gives out a zinger which is also followed by a standing ovation
