I'm totally serious. We even have a special room built for it.
In Canada we have elections at least once every 5 years, although they can happen more often if we have a minority government. Minority governments lack the critical mass of members of parliament to provide the shared body heat necessary to survive the harsh Canadian winter.
Like the States, we have two legislative bodies, but we only elect the lower house, the Parliament. Members of the Senate are appointed by a council of the strongest men in the country, and are mainly former SCTV cast members.
Unlike the U.S., Canada has more than two viable political parties. Currently these parties include the Conservatives, the Liberals, The Anti-Masonic Party, and the Wolverines.
We don't have Vice Presidents, but we do have Deputy Prime Ministers in Canada. However they aren't named until after the election, so there's no need to "balance the ticket" with them.
("Hey, how can we win the support of white guys?") Constitutionally, I think their only requirement is to operate the donut shop in the House of Commons.
We have debates as well, only instead of being focused on specific issues, we have multiple general topic debates, conducted in English, French and from the roof of a moving train.
